OWA 2007 password change



Hi All,

I've rolled out a new 2007 server and wanted to let people be able to change their password from within OWA. I had changed the group policy to allow as few as 3 characters, and in fact,was able to change it from a complex p/w to a 3 character p/w to test the policy. I was able to log on once and change a password. When I logged in again and tried to change it (even to a complex one) , I recieved a banner saying the password does not meet the complexity requirements. Now, no one is able to change their password and they all get the banner about complexity requirements. If I go into AD User&Computers, I can reset their password to as little as 3 characters. When I check the local security policy, the settings are those defined in Group Policy.
