[Samba] Computer account password expiration

[mathias dufresne]

Hi Guilherme,

Thank you trying but unfortunately there nothing in "passwordsettings"
options to get or set computer accounts password expiration.

I expect I found the answer there:

For those interested into that:

It seems workstations password are changed by client side which means the
workstation ask for updating its password, as do any other user account.

There is also a GPO to configure that behaviour.

Cheers,

mathias
