I also have the same question. I have a client that claims that their
password settings are controlled by their Active Directory Group Policy
settings and that they cannot override the settings for certain individual
accounts. My understanding was the GP settings could be overriden based on
individual user account properties, but before I start making claims to the
client, I'd like to know that it is right. Thanks in advance.
