Re: Complex password setting refuses to go away!!

I just ran group policy results on the domain controler with the
administrator user that is logged on and it says that the only GPO's
being applied are the default domain policy and the default domain
controller policy.

I then went and looked at each policy on the settings tab and under
computer settings and user settings there are NO account policies
applied! I am befuddled!

Any other ideas?

Thanks

Hi!

You should run GPMC (wizard for logging mode) or gpresult to find out which
policy is still setting complex password policy.

Hi

On my domain controler at home I use for the house (overkill I know)
... anyway on it I have set all account security policies to "not
configured" in the default domain policy and still it will not let me
create a user that has a password that does not meet the complexity
requirements. I set the complexity requirement setting to disabled as
well and did the same. This is after running gpupdate and rebooting
and all that.

Driving me insane!

I checked the default domain controler policy even though that is
completely unrelated...and nothing configured there either...as I
said...i know thats not where they are applied but hey, at this point I
would check anything!!!

Any info would be great, thanks!
