Passwords for enabled local Administrator accounts must be changed at least every 60 days.
Description
Discussion Text
The longer a password is in use, the greater the opportunity for someone to gain unauthorized knowledge of the password. A local Administrator account is not generally used and its password not may be changed as frequently as necessary. Changing the password for enabled Administrator accounts on a regular basis will limit its exposure.
It is highly recommended to use Microsoft's Local Administrator Password Solution (LAPS). Domain-joined systems can configure this to occur more frequently. LAPS will change the password every "30" days by default. The AO still has the overall authority to use another equivalent capability to accomplish the check.
