Hi Jenna,
You pretty much solved your problem yourself ;) Indeed password and
account policies are the same for all users in a domain and cannot be
overriden with the exception of password expiration, as you mentioned.
"Password never expires" will tell the DCs to disregard the age of the
password is a maximum password age is configured. This is commonly used
for service accounts the passwords of which you do (or can) not want to
change every month or so. So you can only modify this per user - minimum
password length, complexity, etc. will continue to be applicable for all
users and you cannot modify that.
HTH
