On my 2003 server with AD these are my current GPO
settings I know they are not what someone would normally
use but this is what I have set:
enfore pass history = 1, max age =92, min pass age =1,
min pass length = 3, pass must meet complexity
requirement = disabled, store pass using reversable
encrypiton = disabled. The message i'm getting when I
try and create a user is " Windows cannot set password
for username because: The password does not meet policy
requirements. Check the minumum pass length, password
complexity, and password history requirements. The
password I was using "changeyourpass"
