Manage Passwords Automatically
We have setup our Windows domain account password in the Windows Domain Configuration screen to change every day (Update interval: 1 Days). When does this password actually change? -Is it 24 hours from the time we set it? -Is it at a certain time each day?
Resolution

When you select this option, Envision immediately changes the password, and then changes at the defined interval.

However, this change can be affected if you have a GPO in effect the prevents the defined time change.

For example, if you defined the time to be 24 hours, but your group policy on your Authentication server says that passwords need to be valid for at least 7 days, the authentication server takes precendence.
