RE: [ActiveDir] Force password length problem

Rick,

We found that out after playing a little more. I was trying to set it at the OU level. Once I set it at the domain level it worked.

 

Thanks for the assist.

Rick,

 

Where is this password policy being implemented?  In Active Directory, typically password policy must be implemented at the Domain level - it cannot (except for specific cases which are outside the scope of this discussion) be implemented at Site, OU, or at the Default Domain Contoller policy level.

Hi all,
I am using GPOs to force a password length of 5 characters. I force a password reset and my test account is allowed a password of  zero length (blank). I checked TechNet and didn't find anything. If I don't enter the new password correctly the message I get states that I need to use a password of zero or more characters.

All the other options I want to use work, i.e.: remember the 5 previous etc...

Anyone have any ideas?
