We audit:
account logon events success and fail
account management success and fail
directory service access success and fail
logon events success and fail
object access fail
policy change success and fail
privilege use fail
system events success and fail

I have checked EventLogs. No other admins are saying
they've done anything. I recently rebooted a Windows 2003
DC and when I went to log back on I was told my password
had expired.

Today I did promote a Windows 2003 machine as a domain
controller but we have several 2000 and 2003 DC's.

I just don't understand how password complexity is enabled
when its not turned on in Group Policy.
