| Good Morning All -
I am trying to correct a problem with Group Policy and am not sure where to go next. When I run gpedit.msc on a domain controller, the Computer Configuration\Windows Settings\Security Settings\Account Policies\Password Policy shows a Minimum password age setting of 60 days.
It also shows that it is inherited. The settings in the default domain GPO has a minimum password age of 1 days to allow password history to work as needed.
No users can change their passwords because they seem to all hit inside the 60 day window.
How do I get this removed? I do not recall setting this option at 60 days. I am working with a new application, Scriptlogic Password Self Service to allow users to manage their passwords and reset lockouts, but support at Scriptlogic claims they did not cause the issue and that it is an AD/windows issue. However the issue only appeared after I started down the path of password self service.
I think the application will be useful, but I am not sure how to get the password minimum changed.
Any help/ideas/things to try would be greatly appreciated.
thanks

| Derek- What GPO on the domain is delivering password policy? Is it the Default Domain Policy or another one? What settings do you see for minimum password age if you open that GPO?

| Ok. What do you see if you open up ADSIEdit focused on your domain, right click on the root domain name entry, choose properties and look at the minpwdage attribute on that domain NC object? What is the value there?

| Well that doesn't seem right . I have my system's minimum password age policy set to 1 day and the value on the minPwdAge attribute is: 1:00:00:00
Are you sure you're looking at the right attribute in the right spot?
Also, if you run rsop.msc on your DC, what does IT show for your min password age and where that policy is coming from?

In RSOP it shows the correct settings. I have a ticket open with Product Support Services to see if I can get a handle on it, but it will be Monday before I pick that up again.
When working with Microsoft, replication and GPO application appear to be ok. But we'll see what else is found Monday.

| Ok. So something "corrupted" the domain NC head with invalid data. Did you try doing a gpupdate /force on the PDC emulator, just for grins?

It seems like policy is rosy on all domain controllers other than the PDC

| Well the thing that drives how accounts behave from a password policy perspective is what is in AD on that Domain NC head, rather than what is in the GPO. GP is just a mechanism for getting those attributes populated. There is a special thread that runs on the PDC emulator that is responsible for reading the domain-linked policy for populating those attributes. There is also some strange behavior to know about--if you try editing local security policy on a DC (for example, using secedit.exe), the DC will actually write that change back to the Default Domain Policy--presumably to guarantee account policy consistency across all DCs! This is unique to account policy --no other policy area does this that I'm aware. The bottom line is that you should never make account policies changes locally on a DC.

Thats good to know, thanks. I avoid editing group policy from my desktop because I have 7 installed and there were some changes to AD and Group Policy if I remember right.... will using GPMC from Windows 7 cause problems in 2003 AD?
I am curious if changing the minimum pwd setting in ADSIedit would be helpful or not... as you mentioned earlier yours shows 1:0:0:0:0:0 for 1 day. As big of a pain as these issues seem to be to fix, I always manage to learn something and for that I am grateful.

| You should have no issues editing policy from Win7.
As for using ADSIEdit directly, I would say that it would probably be ok, but I don't know for sure, so it might be something to ask some of the AD experts on the ActiveDir mailing list.

| Hi Darren -
In talking more with MS PSS this morning it appears the value appearing in ADSIEdit for minimum password age shows negative because the user I am logged in with for troubleshooting has a password that does not expire.
Off to the drawing board again it seems...

| Derek- I'm a bit confused. You're saying that the domain NC values (not the user account's) are negative because your user account has a non-expiring password?

the user I am logged on with has a non expiring pw and adsiedit is showing -51340000000000 as the minimum password age days value..
