Need to change the NDS password expiration date and time
on multiple users.
"Force periodic password changes" is grayed out and can not be
modified.

In ConsoleOne select the users that need to have their password
expiration date changed. Right click and select properties of
multiple objects. Go the password restriction section in the
restriction tab. Place a check mark in both "Allow user
to changed password" and Require a password". Now "Force
periodic password changes" can be checked and modified.

NMAS and using password policies.
