  • Hi

    If you are creating logins from SSMS you check the checkbox which says "Enforce password policy".

    If you are using a script use the CHECK_EXPIRATION option of the "Create login" statement.

  • Hi,

    Thanks a lot!

  • As far as I know, if the SQL Server is on a domain, the domain's password policy is the one that's enforced. If the server's not on a domain, then the local password policy is enforced.

  • Hi! I just read this thread (3 years later). Does anybody know how I can get a notification that someone's password will expire in another n days? or to trigger an SP to take action n days before expiry? I'm assuming an SQL server login with Enforce Password Policy and Enforce Password Expiration. Thanks in advance ...

  • Use the LOGINPROPERTY method to find all the infos you need (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms345412.aspx).

  • Thank you, the link worked for me.
