We changed the value of some keys in the register of ours Windows XP Pro
clients. 

Just for information these clients are just VMware images, it is thus easy for
us to change that, after modifying the image, on all hosts quickly with the
help of udpcast [1].

Here are the keys before our modification...

HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Netlogon\Parameters\DisablePasswordChange:
		0x00000000

HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Netlogon\Parameters\maximumpasswordage:
		0x0000001E (30 days)

...and after :

HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Netlogon\Parameters\DisablePasswordChange:
		0x00000001

HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Netlogon\Parameters\maximumpasswordage:
		0x0000003E7 (999 days)

I copy the content of a reg file into this mail (our mailserver do not want to
send *.reg file) which you just have to merge with your registre on your
clients to fix that keys.
