NET ACCOUNTS updates the user accounts database and modifies password  and logon requirements for all accounts.  When used without options, NET ACCOUNTS displays the current settings for password, logon limitations, and domain information.  Two conditions are required in order for options used with  NET ACCOUNTS to take effect:  -  The password and logon requirements are only effective if user     accounts have been set up (use User Manager or the NET USER command).  -  The Net Logon service must be running on all servers in the domain     that verify logon. Net Logon is started automatically when Windows     starts.  /FORCELOGOFF:{minutes | NO}   Sets the number of minutes a user has                                before being forced to log off when the                                account expires or valid logon hours expire.                               NO, the default, prevents forced logoff. /MINPWLEN:length              Sets the minimum number of characters for                               a password. The range is 0-14 characters;                               the default is 6 characters. /MAXPWAGE:{days | UNLIMITED}  Sets the maximum number of days that a                                password is valid. No limit is specified                               by using UNLIMITED. /MAXPWAGE can't be less                                than /MINPWAGE. The range is 1-999; the                                default is to leave the value unchanged. /MINPWAGE:days                Sets the minimum number of days that must                                pass before a user can change a password.                                A value of 0 sets no minimum time. The range                                is 0-999; the default is 0 days. /MINPWAGE                                can't be more than /MAXPWAGE. /UNIQUEPW:number              Requires that a user's passwords be unique                                through the specified number of password                                changes. The maximum value is 24. /DOMAIN                       Performs the operation on a domain                               controller of the current domain. Otherwise,                               the operation is performed on the local                                computer.
