I believe what you are referring to is the NSA's EnPasFlt.dll filter. That enforces passwords of at least 8 characters and 4 character sets. This is only available to government agencies and the docs say it can handle a maximum of 500 password changes at once.
Another tool is Password Policy Enforcer: http://www.anixis.com/products/ppe/default.htm. This tool has more advanced features and is a bit friendlier to end users. Of course, the friendliest--and mathematically equivalent--thing is to just enforce long passwords and make the use of character sets optional.
