The scenario I envision for using password complexity requirements is for network admins (Users!!) who I want to force more complex passwords on, but general users (students) do not need this setting.
Are you under the impression that strong password security is not necessary for non-priviledged accounts?
I won't bother to the address the other aspects of the policy, as they have been covered by others.
If you want to support multiple password policies in a domain, there are 3rd party apps that purport to do this:

Can anyone explain why password complexity requirements are a computer, and not a User setting? The scenario I envision for using password complexity requirements is for network admins (Users!!) who I want to force more complex passwords on, but general users (students) do not need this setting. From what I can see, the way MS set it up, I would set password policy on student computers, and admin policy on admin computers, but that means that an admin can go to a student computer and pick a more convenient password!! How does that pass for security??
Any ideas on that one?
Thanks,
