Hi all,

I would like to know how can I reset the group policy in
an AD environment back to its default config?

Currently, the GPO doesnt take effect on the config
i applied.
Example, the password complexity is set as "Not Defined" but
whenever I tried to change my password it will prompt me
the new password does not meet the requirement.

I have other issues as well, so I need to reset all back to default
policy.


Thanks in advance.
