server2008 password expiration disabled? geek-y-guy 02-28-2008

 Hi: I have a fresh install of server2008 standard, which I immediately
installed active directory on and made it the DC of a new forest.

After restarting, and logging in as the Admin, I went into local security
policy / account policies / password policy, but I can't change the "maximum
password age"...it's grayed out and I want to set it to "0" so passwords
don't expire?

 Hello geek-y-guy,

You have to change/edit the policy in the domain. The local policy will be
overwritten from the domain policies.

Best regards

use the GPMC to edit the password and account lockout settings in the
Default Domain GPO...

Did you know W2K8 at Domain Functional Level supports MULTIPLE password and
account lockout settings per domain?

If not see:
