Windows NT Server 4.0 User Account Characteristics

Characteristic
User must change password at next logon
User cannot change password
Password never expires
Account is disabled
NOTE: As was the case in the Active Directory, users in a Windows NT 4.0 domain
typically log on to the domain from their own client machines. Requiring a user to change
a password on the first logon proactively addresses security concerns.
Windows File System Administration 3-45
Table 3-4
Summary
Checking this box requires the user to
change the password at the next logon to
the domain.
If checked, the user cannot modify the
password.
If enabled, the domain controller never
requires a user to change the password.
However, the user can change the
password voluntarily.
If this box is checked, the account is
disabled and the user can no longer log on
to the domain. However, the account
remains on file. If a user forgets a
password, failed logon attempts can
automatically disable the account. The
account can be re-enabled here.
