Okay, searching around a little more on google I seem to have found that you
can set a password policy for a domain, but override it for select users by
selecting Password Never Expires on those specific accounts. Can anyone
verify that? Does that apply for complexity of passwords, too, or just for
changing them regularly, etc.?
