Re: Password Policy

calling name ?

I know, that's why i tried your solution.
It doesn't work on my environnement.
Does it in your ?
I tried when reseting password from ADUC and directly on the logged account.
I even rebooted before

1/I am quite sure you can't
Corect, using the the gpeditor you can't.

2/That would be quite dirty. Editing the gpo may lead to get it removed.
Dirty? Get removed?
Can you explain that?

Did you know that there are many problems that can only be solved by manually editing the GPOs, perhaps you should try it before calling names...

Hi
Here's how you can do that:
Identify the policy by its GUID, then go to %SystemRoot\SYSVOL\domain\Policies\{PolicyGuid}\Machine\Microsoft\Windows NT\SecEdit

Then open the GptTmpl.inf and change the value of the MinimumPasswordLength=15
Save changes.
Then in cremente the version policy in
%SystemRoot\SYSVOL\domain\Policies\{PolicyGuid}\GPT.ini

Done!!!

Let me know the results.
Note: If you try to use the GPO editor to change the value the value will be reversed to 14 chars that is the default behavior.

Hello,

open gpmc (gpmc.msc), expand your domain, right click on "Default Domain policy", click edit

in computer configuration
expand windows settings
Security settings
Account policies
Password policy

Enable "Password must meet complexity requirements"

I think you mean Minimum password length, and not maximum,
edit Minimum password length

occurs next password changes
