If it's a local account, then the policy doesn't apply regardless;
domain account policies don't apply to local accounts.
maybe I misundarstand what you're saying, but this is not my experience.
More than once I've yanked a workstation from the domain and tried to
apply a less restricted password to a local account, and I couldn't --
the domain policy persisted tyrannically.

Impossible/irrelevant. If it's a domain account, the policy
applies regardless, because the account is stored in AD. If it's a local
account, then the policy doesn't apply regardless; domain account
policies don't apply to local accounts. Is this a local account or a
domain account?

If you mean before the policy was set up, then, no.
This policy has been in effect for a couple of years and
the account was created a month ago..
Maybe the PC is not getting the Default Domain Policy?

Tom,
This is just a stab in the dark but is it
possible that this user's password was set prior to the Default Domain
Policy being in effect?

I'm having this weird issue where I have a user
account who is able to log in with a blank password.
The Default Domain Policy is set to a min
password length of 6 characters.
The userAccountControl on the user is set to
512.
The Domain is at win2k3 DFL and FFL.
Is there any other way besides a migration tool
like Quest that could circumvent this policy and allow blank passwords?
Thanks
