I also tried this to no avail: Disabled the machine password change on all

If Win 7 is ignoring that setting, it might honor the one which sets the
password change period.
MaximumPasswordAge determines when the computer password needs to be changed.
Key = HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\NetLogon\Parameters
Value = MaximumPasswordAge REG_DWORD
Default = 30
Range = 1 to 1,000,000 (in days)
Group policy setting:
Computer Configuration\windows Settings\Security settings\Local
Policies\Security Options
Domain member: Maximum machine account Password age
To clear things up, it is 7 days on Windows NT by default, and 30 days on
Windows 2000 and up.
The trust password follows the same setting. So Trust between two NT 4 domains
is 7 days. Trusts between Windows 2000 and up and anything else is 30 days.
So what this means is if 2000 and NT4 trust password is 30 days.
2000 to 2000 is 30 days.
2000 to 2003 is 30 days.
2003 to 2003 is 30 days.
