linking GPOs with password policy configuration will not work on OUs...
within AD you can only define ONE password policy and that MUST be linked
to
the domain.


about a third party tool...

you may wanna have a look at "Password Policy Enforcer" from Anixis

Looking to have the AD password policy only effect certain OU's , if i
understand this correclty I can only do this by blocking policy
inheritance
or 3rd party tools. just looking to see if anyone has suggestions on
utility.

Thanks
