We are preparing to setup password policies for our domain -- however, we do not want it to apply to the users in the sub-domain. We are a university and have the staff/faculty and student accounts divided. We have Windows 2003 SP1. Is there any way to do this? I see posts indicating that the policy in applied at the domain level. I did see a comment about setting the 'passwords do not expire'. If a script were written to set accounts to 'passwords do not expire' would this override the group policy at the domain level. Can anyone direct me a link on using group policy to setup password policies. Thanks for any help.
If You are thinking about sub-domain as a child domain in the same forest then it is exactly as You requires it to be - child domain will have its own password policy.
Password never expires is not forced at GPO level and this is per account setting so yes, this will override password requirements if it comes to change password but not if it comes to complexity etc.
