[Samba] samba 4 classicupgrade w7 clients errors

[Andreas Calvo]

These are the current settings for the password expiration policy in the
domain:
Password complexity: on
Store plaintext passwords: off
Password history length: 0
Minimum password length: 8
Minimum password age (days): 0
Maximum password age (days): 0

Is it necessary to set a value?
A lot of users are seeing the pop-up "windows needs your credentials. Log
off and on again".
