Hi,

I desparately need to disable password expiration and enforce strong
passwords on the local account policy on a Server 2008 box that is a domain
controller, I havent been able to find out how to do this, all of the
options are greyed out.

any ideas?

Hello Andy,

You have no local options on a dc, if you not use fine grained password policies,
you have to configure the policy on domain level, default domain policy to
set the password options.

For fine grained password policy look here:
