Re: Password must meet complexity requirements

did you run the commands on the server?
What happens when you try to change the user's password on the server?

When I run a gpresult and net accounts, it show that the policy is
applied. I
have tested changing the password on an XP pc. It does not allow me to use
a
previous password or password less than 7 characters (as I put in my
policy).
But it doesn't seem to meet the complexity requirements. I am able to
change
the password to all lower case with no special characters or numbers.

I have configured my Group Policy for the domain to have passwords meet
the
complexity requirements. However, when I test this, the password does
not
reflect complexity. Any Ideas on how I might correct this?

Security Account Policies are ONLY EFFECTIVE at the DOMAIN level.
(Password, Kerberos, Lockout.)

You must link the GPO to the domain to see an effect (not OU or Site)
with these policies.
