I need to be able to access a number of settings in the local security policy.

More specifically, account settings such as password age, lockout count, password history, lockout duration, etc.

I need to be able to retrieve these settings, and change them, if necessary.

I cannot seem to find settings for the majority of these items in the registry, so I will probably have to access and or change them directly from VB.

Any help with this issue is GREATLY appreciated. Thanks in advance.
