Looks like there is some wrapping going on there.  Try:

# net sam policy set "maximum password age" 4294967291

That said, I don't know why there would be wrapping.  An unsigned 32-bit 
integer's maximum value is 4294967295, so 4294967294 (the value that you 
used) should be something that would fit.  I don't know what would cause 
that to happen that way.
