Re: Override Default Domain Policy - how??

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry



Hello sulaiman,

If you are talking about a PRE-2008 domain, then you have one password policy on DOMAIN level. So you can just configure it there and it is for the complete domain. If you just will remove the complexity part you have to set it under computer configuration, that's the place where the password policy has to be set, nowhere else.

Best regards

If we want to remove password complexity requirement for users u
should want to move that computers to that OU to make this policy
affect.

that policy comes under the COMPUTER CONFIGURATION policy not intended
for USER Configuration
