Backup

I am a total newbie in this business.
1 question:
If there is a server backup.
It is possible to take it and run it on a virtual machine, so that it would be like a server.
It is necessary for the game (settings) with the rights of the user server.
Question 2:
If anyone knows, one more question . Is it possible
to change the password for users on the server after 30 days, except for the Administrators group
? Is it possible to do this somehow?

1. Yes, if the backup was made using Windows Server, then it creates vhd disks that can be connected to a virtual machine.
2. You can implement it, but here you need to know what version of the OS you have, if 2003, then only a separate domain is made for this (password policy for the domain), and starting from 2008 R2, Password Setings Object appeared and can be hung on groups and divisions.

1. Yes, you can. BUT ! Keep in mind that the appearance of a second such server on the network can lead to undesirable consequences. In short, if you need to play - play, but do not let it into the real network.
2. Finally not a problem. If there are few admins, then look for the corresponding checkbox in the account properties. If there is a lot - it is driven by an overlapping policy (this can be used as a query in Google)
