Sounds like a group policy somewhere higher in the hierchy is overwriting
your changes. Group policy is applied in the following order, Local, Site,
Domain, OU. Just in case this is not clear....anything you apply locally
can then be overwritten by a Site policy, which can then be overwritten by a
Domain policy, which can then be overwritten by any number of cascading OU
assigned policies. Most of these policies can be blocked at various levels
if that is your desire, but if someone higher than you, administratively
speaking, wants to override your decision, then that also is possible.

Hello,
we have quite a similar problem and I thought maybe one of
You can give me a hint.
On the server, who is the PDC operations master, I defined
new password conditions at our "domain name" at the
policy "default domain policy"
the old values were: 42 days, minimum length 0
the new values I set were: 35 days, minimum length 7
But always, after about 10 Minutes my changes are set back
to the "old" values.
Are the values "42 days" , "0 minimum length"
and "password History = 1 day"
a kind of Windows 2000 standard ?
I tried to change the values on all our DCs with the same
effect.
What can be the cause of the set back? a kind of
replication?
I´m member of the enterprise admin group
Can You give me a hint ??
Thanks in advance,
Ralf
