Which version of Server are you using.
You should have the options for password complexity within your GPO, which
defines 3 of 4 critirea must be met and the password must be at least 6
characters long.
If you need more than this then I agree with Paul.

I want to change the password requirements for my users. I can change the
group policy but I thought there was another place to change it were you had
more options. I want my users to have a safer, secure password but don't
want the level of restirctions offered in the group policy. Is there another
way to restrict the password?
