Vista Home Basic & Premium

[Guest Derek Sinclair]

I have 3 systems, 1 with Home Premium and 2 with Home Basic

 

On these systems are set up the following accounts

 

Premium - My account, admin priviledges / wifes account, admin priviledges

1st Basic - My account, admin priviledges / 3 * kids accounts, user

priviledges

2nd Basic - My account, admin priviledges / wifes account, admin priviledges

 

On all of these, my account was the one created at startup. After using

these systems for a week or 2, my wife's accounts are suddenly telling her

that her password will expire in X days and that it needs changed. My

account, which is technically older does not, and the kids accounts are not

doing it either.

 

On the home versions, it is not possible to run the GUI for setting the

Local Policy of passwords to never expire, however I am sure that there is

some Net User syntax that will allow me to set her password to never expire,

but for the life of me I can't remember it or find it under Google.

 

Any thoughts as to this and to why admin accounts are forced to change

passwords but not user accounts???
