Password Expiration - Different for Staff / Students (Mixed PCs)

[burgemaster]

Hi all,

Currently our "Password Policy" GP forces a password reset after 90 days.
I am looking to increase this for STUDENTS only to maybe 5/6months.

As this is a Computer policy, i was wondering if this is possible or anyone has a way around it?
Teachers/TAs occasionally use the Students computers etc
Ive attempted creating 2 separate GPs and then using GP filtering but no joy.

Do some schools not set an expiry for student passwords?

Any ideas please?

In a 2003 domain you can only have 1 password policy.

Not in 2003.

There's suppoised to be third party tools that can do it, but personally I've never used any - and as they're not M$ supported I'd never be happy having them there.

2008 can handle 'fine grained policies' - have a look here AD DS: Fine-Grained Password Policies
