Well no, that is what they mean by domain wide...
 
The password policy GPOs apply to the computers, not the users. It just has impact on users.
 
You can have individual non-expiring userids by setting them individually to be non-expiring. Look at the account options, specifically - Password never expires.

No. But yes, you are right, this is bad, almost always universally bad.

Subject: [ActiveDir] Exclude one account from password policy

I know account policies are domain wide but if you put a user in an OU and block gpo inheritance, can you make that user have a non-expiring password while everyone esle is subject to the normal AD password policy?
 
I know this is bad security practice but can it be done this way?
 
Thanks
