Definitions

warning

Specifies the number of days after a user’s last logon password change when that user begins to receive the following message at logon time:

YOUR LOGON PASSWORD WILL EXPIRE IN nn DAYS

Users will see this message each time they log on until they change their password or it expires.

The warning value must be less than or equal to the expiration value. If warning and expiration are the same positive number, a logon password is expired without warning when the expiration interval is reached. The minimum is 0; the maximum is 32767.

expiration

Specifies the number of days after the last logon password change when that password automatically expires. The first time a user logs on after this limit has been reached, the following message is displayed:

YOUR LOGON PASSWORD HAS EXPIRED

Users are forced to change their passwords.

A value of 0 for expiration suppresses automatic expiration, and is equivalent to omitting the AUTOEXP record entirely. The minimum for expiration is 0; the maximum is 32767.
