Hi,

Follow the policies defined by my company:

     Maximum password age 120 days
     Minimum password length 8
     Password Uniqueness 3
     Account lockout 5
     Account lockout duration Forever

So no complexity. I don't have a NT4 box available right now, but would guess that your policies are default policies in NT. So you just have to configure them on each memberserver. Passfilt.dll is only required if password complexity is essential.
