Thanks, but I didn't describe very well what I was after: It's not
that I don't want my password to expire every 30 days or so, it's just
the warning message that keeps coming up saying 'Your password expires
in 14 days - do you want to change it?' - I only want this to appear
in the last 3-5 days. But i still want my password to expire every 30
days. I have domain admin access so I can look at stuff both on the
server and workstations.

Thanks for your help,

Pete
