Please can someone advise on MS's 'out of the box' 2003 domain
security policy settings. Things such as password length, complexity
etc.

www.microsoft.com/technet/security
Drill in and find the security guidance papers, particularly the
Windows Server 2003 Security Guide
and the
Threats and Countermeasures Guide
These discuss recommended values and contrasts with defaults
for very many policy settings.
