How will remote users who only authenticate to my NT 4.0 network domain to obtain their pop3 mail, or access the outlook webaccess mail box, be affected when a account policy is inplemented that force users of the domain to change their password at a perticular interval, or with a perticular password length. Will the policy force them to change their passwords also and give them the prompt or will it just ingnor the policy.
 
Yes, the policy will effect them if they are logging into the network remotely. The only way to avoid it for those users is to set their accounts NOT expire. Hope this helps.
