However, you can also delegate the ability to set these policies to other users. The domain must be running at least Windows Server R2 or Windows Server to use fine-grained password policies.
Fine-grained password policies cannot be applied to an organizational unit OU directly. Fine-grained password policies do not interfere with custom password filters that you might use in the same domain.
Organizations that have deployed custom password filters to domain controllers running Windows Server or Windows Server can continue to use those password filters to enforce additional restrictions for passwords. You can enforce the use of strong passwords through an appropriate password policy. There are password policy settings that control the complexity and lifetime of passwords, such as the Passwords must meet complexity requirements policy setting.
You can configure the password policy settings in the following location by using the Group Policy Management Console on your domain controller:. My question is, how do I set this up for my domain? Will I need to set the policy up for loop back?
Can I configure this for just a specific OU? Any suggestions on how to move forward? Any advise is much appreciated, and thanks in advance! To configure the password policy, you should edit the Default Domain Policy for each domain that you want to change this on.
This is where the password policy is set. To make users change passwords at their next logon, you can select all, right click, and select Properties from ADUC and put a check in the box that makes users change passwords at next logon, or you can script it in any number of languages, like batch, PowerShell, or VBscript.
You will need to configure the password settings in a group policy object linked at the domain level. This will more than likely be the "default domain policy" if you are running a default type setup.

We have a network within a high school with 2 Domain Controllers [the fact that there's 2 does not seem to be an issue] that are both replicating correctly and show the same version of all GPO's on both.
If I add a file to one, it's created on the other and is identical to the first. No accounts in our Active Directory have any Account options enabled, such as Password never expires. I'm trying to deploy a password policy here at the school. I've set the Password Policy information within Default Domain Policy and ensured that no other policies in the system have any Password Policies in them.
To test, the password policy is max age of days, 10 passwords remembered, at least 7 characters long, and password must be at least 30 days old.
The Default Domain Policy is the only one that contains a Password Policy, and it's at the root of our domain and at the highest priority for link order [1]. I try changing the password on a test client computer, and a policy shows up that is not the one I set. I get a prompt saying my password must be at least 0 characters, cannot be any of your previous 0 passwords, and must be at least 30 days old. I can't find where this password is coming for the life of me.
I've been trying for 2 weeks now to make this password policy work, and it's just not happening.
