Hi
The error sounds self explanatory:
"The value provided forthe new password does not meet the length,
complexity, or history requirement of the domain"
You need to provide a Password that respects the Password Domain Policy.

Gurus,

Trying to add a user to AD via LDIFDE but receiving an error stating
"Unable to update the password". What am I doing wrong?

"Add error on line 1: Unwilling To PerformThe server side error is "Unable
to update the password. The value provided forthe new password does not
meet the length, complexity, or history requirement of the domain."0
entries modified successfully.An error has occurred in the program"

And here's the code inside the file I am importing with LDIFDE.

dn: cn=psmith,cn=users,dc=mydom,dc=local
changetype: addobject
Class: user
samaccountname: psmith
sn: PSmith
useraccountcontrol: 512

dn: cn=psmith,cn=users,dc=mydom,dc=local
changetype: modify
add: givenName
givenName: Paul

replace: sn
sn: SMith
