Hi Fec,
Thank you for your post.
According to your description, I understand that you encountered a problem
that the server suddenly asking the users to change their passwords. If I
am off base, please let me know.
In order to isolate the problems, we would like to collect the following
information:
1. Which edition of server you use, SBS2000 or SBS2003? We may use
different methods to treat with different system.
2. Could you explain the way that you set the password policy?
3. These problems occur in all the computers, or only occur in some
computers.
If the problems only occur in a client computer, we suggest you reconfirm
the GPO using RSoP in this client computer which running Windows Xp. Please
follow the steps below:
1. Click "Start" then point to "Run".
2. Run rsop.msc.
In the RSoP windows you can follow the detail steps below to check the
results of the password policy:
1. Expand the "Computer Configuration->Windows Setting->Security
Setting"
2. Click the Account Policy, and then point to the password policy.
Make sure that the Maximum age is set properly.
If the problems occur in the entire domain, we suggest you reconfirm the
GPO by running RSoP on a domain and Organization Unit in the SBS server
2003. Please see the detail steps below:

then double-click Active Directory Users and Computers.
2. In the console tree, expand Active Directory Users and Computers; expand
Domains, and then right-click the domain on which you want to run RSoP.
3. Point to All Tasks, and then click Resultant Set of Policy (Planning).

unit.
3. Right-click the organizational unit on which you want to run RSoP, point
to All Tasks, and then click Resultant Set of Policy (Planning) .
In the RSoP windows please follow the steps below to check the results of
the password policy:

sure that the Maximum age is set properly
