password expiration

Is there a way to set different groups password expiration to different
times with the use of group policy? If not is there any other way without
adding a child domain for the domain admins group members of the parent
domain?

Thanks,

Well you can build scripts, etc to do this specific function, i.e. the
expiration. You specify to the script in some way how it should expire users
(i.e. the time frame) and then bam it forces the accounts expired. I would also
recommend having a message sent to the user up front though too. I have seen
this implemented for admin accounts on multiple occasions.
