Flavio,
You will not see an impact to your end users until they are forced to change
their passwords. Then the complexity requirements will go into effect.
Brace yourself for the helpdesk calls and public outcry. Do yourself a favor
and send out a notice, e-mail, newsletter, whatever outlining the change,
and give them warning.
Make sure you understand what a strong password is. Most people, not in IT,
will be shocked at the requirements and take it personally that you are
making their lives harder. Also, you may actually see a reduction in
security as people write these things down and store them under their
keyboards.
Good PR and management buy in are the only way to really effect this change.
