Re: Minimum Password length GPO setting won't take effect

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance



Hi,

Do you have this configured within your default domain policy?
Is there any other password settings within any other domain level
based GPOs?
Also, check the default domain controllers policy to see if there are
any settings there
Have we verified replication to all DC's?

Good luck

I have a Windows 2003 AD and I am trying to force a minimum of 8 character
passwords at the next password change via a GPO named Security. Security is
linked to the domain and it is #1 in the link order. I am using an XP client
as my test system. I can see via Group Policy Results that this GPO and the
8 character limit are being applied to this PC but the user is still able to
change the password to something less than 8 characters. Any ideas on what I
missed?

Thanks.
