Change password expiration policy windows server 2008 r2

How could they do that??? Here are three different ways to get to the same screen in Windows Server These three methods work in Windows Server and R2 as well, so once you get used to one of them you can use it on your old servers as well. The first method is the one I have known for a long time, and is very simple. Most of the time, this takes you to the same prompt screen as we saw above:.
