I have a user's password set to never expire and Active Directory is telling
me that because of that, I can't force the user to change their password at
next logon. I understand the concept, but can someone verify that in fact if
a password never expires you can't force a password change? Is this how AD
handles passwords? Must there be a potential expiration date in order to
force a user to change their password? Thanks for the help!
