I have a question about default domain policy and Active Directories
default containers. Our organization set the password policies in the
default domain policy. We do not want this policy to apply to the
default user container where many of our service accounts are. We have
a manual policy for changing these. Does the default domain policy
apply to the users container?

Yes, the password policy from the default domain policy will apply to the
users within the default users container. You just can't link a GPO to the
container but domain GPOs do flow down.

Not sure what version you are on but if your domain is at the 2008
functional level you can use fine-grained passwords to apply different
policies to users and/or groups.

If you are at 2003 then there are third party tools that can help with
different password policies (specops is a well known product that does this)

Thanks

In Windows 2003 and earlier domains, you can only have one password
policy for the entire domain and that is usually set in your default
domain policy or equivalent. Unless you utilize third-party tools there
is no way around this.



However, Windows 2008 domains introduced Fine-Grained Password Policies
which lets you have multiple password configurations. You can read about
it here
<http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc770394(WS.10).aspx> or
just do a Google search on it and you should fine tons of information.

Hi Francis,

It will apply to users container. The default domain policy applies to everybody.

Thanks Kumar. I know that policies are applied LSDOU, and now knowing
that the default domain policy filters down to all objects below, what
you are saying is that any service account that has no password
expiration will NOT be affected by the policy. Correct? Please forgive
that I have to reiterate, but I want to make sure about this, as we have
a service account (currently set with no password expiration) that is
used to run services on several servers, that we manually change during
our maintenance periods, that we cannot have to lock out or be forced to
change per the policy.

Also, normally the service accounts should not have passwords
set to expire. So if you go to your service account and check "Password
never expires" that should take precedence. Ensure that you do this only
for service accounts. If you set it at user object level, then this
setting takes precedence and Default domain policy will not apply
specific to the password expiry policy.



My few cents.

Tim, Kumar, Jamie, Darren,

Let me clarify, as I think I am confusing you, but you make a good point Tim. When I am saying service account, I am referring to a user account in AD that is used to start and run specific services on the servers. These are still user accounts and thus as have already been pointed out, are subject the default domain policy even though they are in the users conatainer and not an OU. I just need to confirm that by setting these accounts to "no password expiration", would stop the policy from being applied to these specific accounts.

Francis

Tim, when someone says "Service" account, they are generally referring to a user object that is dedicated to run a specific service or services, as Francis just clarified.

Francis, doing what you've mentioned below would obviously prevent the password from expiring, but that doesn't mean that password policy is circumvented by doing so. You would still be subject to any length, history, and complexity requirements specified in your default domain policy.

That really sets my mind at ease. The password policy for the service accounts, even though they are managed manually, are much more restrictive than what we have just implemented for the users per the domain policy, so that will not be an issue.

Hi,



This may be a little bit pedantic, but it helps to explain the issue and the
answer becomes obvious.



The Password part of the default domain Policy does NOT apply to the default
user container. And this is really obvious, because the password settings
are set on the MACHINE side, not the USER side!



The Password policy applies to MACHINE because the machine controls
passwords, not users.



In the case of a Domain Account (including Domain Service Accounts) the
Domain Controller processing the change request that decides what
length/complexity etc your password must be and so it is the policy that
applies to the Domain Controller that counts.



In the case of a Local Account (including Domain Service Accounts) the local
Machine decides what length/complexity etc your password must be and so it
is the policy that applies to the local Machine that counts.



In the case of password expiry, each User account can set the flag "Password
does not expire". If this is set, the "expire in ?? days" set on the machine
will be ignored. However, if you do change the password,
length/complexity/history are enforced.



As an aside, on Windows 2000 ( I have never checked later versions) you
could actually get more than one password policy in effect on a domain, but
not the way you might hope. You could create two policies with different
password settings and then use security filtering so that one domain
controller got one policy and the second domain controller got the second
policy. If a domain user changed their password, depending which domain
controller handled the change you could get different rules applied. Now I
cannot think of any good reason why you would want to do this, if only
because you can't control which domain controller will process your password
change. However, it does reinforce the point that it is the policy applied
to the Domain Controller doing the change that really counts.

Hi,



This may be a little bit pedantic, but it helps to explain the issue and
the answer becomes obvious.



The Password part of the default domain Policy does NOT apply to the
default user container. And this is really obvious, because the password
settings are set on the MACHINE side, not the USER side!



The Password policy applies to MACHINE because the machine controls
passwords, not users.



In the case of a Domain Account (including Domain Service Accounts) the
Domain Controller processing the change request that decides what
length/complexity etc your password must be and so it is the policy that
applies to the Domain Controller that counts.



In the case of a Local Account (including Domain Service Accounts) the
local Machine decides what length/complexity etc your password must be
and so it is the policy that applies to the local Machine that counts.



In the case of password expiry, each User account can set the flag
"Password does not expire". If this is set, the "expire in ?? days" set
on the machine will be ignored. However, if you do change the password,
length/complexity/history are enforced.



As an aside, on Windows 2000 ( I have never checked later versions) you
could actually get more than one password policy in effect on a domain,
but not the way you might hope. You could create two policies with
different password settings and then use security filtering so that one
domain controller got one policy and the second domain controller got
the second policy. If a domain user changed their password, depending
which domain controller handled the change you could get different rules
applied. Now I cannot think of any good reason why you would want to do
this, if only because you can't control which domain controller will
process your password change. However, it does reinforce the point that
it is the policy applied to the Domain Controller doing the change that
really counts.

That really sets my mind at ease. The password policy for the service
accounts, even though they are managed manually, are much more
restrictive than what we have just implemented for the users per the
domain policy, so that will not be an issue.

Francis, doing what you've mentioned below would obviously prevent the
password from expiring, but that doesn't mean that password policy is

history, and complexity requirements specified in your default domain
policy.

Hi,

"In the case of a Domain Account (including Domain Service Accounts) the Domain Controller processing the change request that decides what length/complexity etc your password must be and so it is the policy that applies to the Domain Controller that counts."

So does this also apply to the notification received by the user with regards to password expiry? For example we have applied (by way of a separate domain) a different password policy that needs to change every two weeks. Unfortunately the default value for the reminder is also 14 days (Computer Configuration\Windows Settings\Security Settings\Local Policies\Security Options\Interactive Logon) which is proving to be annoying. Is there anyway to control this setting with regards to just these accounts? As its a machine based policy setting it would appear not...

Thanks.

For that other domain, just lower the default 14 day value to a shorter (perhaps 1 day, 2 days, or 3 days in advance) schedule.

Computer Configuration | Windows Settings | Security Settings | Local Policies | Security Options | Interactive Logon: Prompt user to change password before expiration.

These are still user accounts and thus as have already been pointed out, are subject the default domain policy even though they are in the users conatainer and not an OU. I just need to confirm that by setting these accounts to "no password expiration", would stop the policy from being applied to these specific accounts.

Say folks, here's something new you should be aware of...

==============================
New Types of Accounts
==============================

If you already have Windows Server 2008 R2 and or Windows 7 systems (or are going there soon), then know that the new operating systems support two new types of accounts called 1) Virtual accounts and 2) Managed Service Accounts (or MSA account).

For more details, see these links

Hi,



This may be a little bit pedantic, but it helps to explain the issue and the answer becomes obvious.



The Password part of the default domain Policy does NOT apply to the default user container. And this is really obvious, because the password settings are set on the MACHINE side, not the USER side!



The Password policy applies to MACHINE because the machine controls passwords, not users.



In the case of a Domain Account (including Domain Service Accounts) the Domain Controller processing the change request that decides what length/complexity etc your password must be and so it is the policy that applies to the Domain Controller that counts.



In the case of a Local Account (including Domain Service Accounts) the local Machine decides what length/complexity etc your password must be and so it is the policy that applies to the local Machine that counts.



In the case of password expiry, each User account can set the flag "Password does not expire". If this is set, the "expire in ?? days" set on the machine will be ignored. However, if you do change the password, length/complexity/history are enforced.



As an aside, on Windows 2000 ( I have never checked later versions) you could actually get more than one password policy in effect on a domain, but not the way you might hope. You could create two policies with different password settings and then use security filtering so that one domain controller got one policy and the second domain controller got the second policy. If a domain user changed their password, depending which domain controller handled the change you could get different rules applied. Now I cannot think of any good reason why you would want to do this, if only because you can't control which domain controller will process your password change. However, it does reinforce the point that it is the policy applied to the Domain Controller doing the change that really counts.

That really sets my mind at ease. The password policy for the service accounts, even though they are managed manually, are much more restrictive than what we have just implemented for the users per the domain policy, so that will not be an issue.

Tim, when someone says "Service" account, they are generally referring to a user object that is dedicated to run a specific service or services, as Francis just clarified.



Francis, doing what you've mentioned below would obviously prevent the password from expiring, but that doesn't mean that password policy is circumvented by doing so. You would still be subject to any length, history, and complexity requirements specified in your default domain policy.

Damian, that would essentially be correct...

However, once you have Windows Server 2008 in place, you get Fine Grained Password (FGP) policies. You create the new password policy and assign it to be applied to members of a domain security group. You add those users to the group and, voila, they get the customized settings you defined. However, as noted, Security Options settings are not a part of that. Hopefully, the FGP policies would be sufficient to your requirements (in other words, with those in place, perhaps you wouldn't need the warning changed).

For more info on Fine Grained Passwords (an 'MS step-by-step how-to' as well as links to 2 third party tools -one is an mmc snap-in and the other a PowerGUI snap-in), see the link below:

I was actually thinking more selectively though for users of type "a" only get notified at _this_ interval and users of type b adopt the standard notification defaults for example...As its a machine setting this is not possible me thinks...

For that other domain, just lower the default 14 day value to a shorter (perhaps 1 day, 2 days, or 3 days in advance) schedule.

Computer Configuration | Windows Settings | Security Settings | Local Policies | Security Options | Interactive Logon: Prompt user to change password before expiration.

Hi,

"In the case of a Domain Account (including Domain Service Accounts) the Domain Controller processing the change request that decides what length/complexity etc your password must be and so it is the policy that applies to the Domain Controller that counts."

So does this also apply to the notification received by the user with regards to password expiry? For example we have applied (by way of a separate domain) a different password policy that needs to change every two weeks. Unfortunately the default value for the reminder is also 14 days (Computer Configuration\Windows Settings\Security Settings\Local Policies\Security Options\Interactive Logon) which is proving to be annoying. Is there anyway to control this setting with regards to just these accounts? As its a machine based policy setting it would appear not...

Thanks.
