default value is 0. The maximum value must be less than or equal to the -minlength value.

-digits, -punctuation must be less than or equal to -minlength value.
-history value

-minpasswordage value
Specifies the minimum number of days that must elapse before a password can be
changed. -minpasswordage can be set at 0 to 999. The default value is 0. Setting this
parameter to a nonzero value discourages a user from rapidly changing a password in order
to defeat the password history setting to reuse a recently used password. The
minpasswordage policy is not enforced when an administrator changes the password for
another user.
-maxpasswordage value
Specifies the maximum number of days that can elapse before a password must be
changed. This is the password expiration period. -maxpasswordage can be set at 0 to 999.
Setting this parameter to 0 disables password expiration. The default value is 0. When
-maxpasswordage is set to a nonzero value, -minpasswordage must be set to a value less
than or equal to -maxpasswordage.
-warning value
Specifies the number of days prior to password expiration that a warning of password
expiration is displayed. The valid range for -warning is 0 to 999. The default value to 0.
-lockoutthreshold value
Specifies the number of times a user can specify an incorrect password during login before
the account is locked. The number of failed login attempts is counted from the last
successful login. Values for -lockoutthreshold range from 0 to 999. Setting this parameter
to 0 disables the lockout mechanism. The default value is 0.
