      In a domain password policies can only be applied at the domain level
so be sure to revert the change on the domain security policy - not domain
controller. After doing that then at the command prompt use secedit
/refeshpolicy machine _policy /enforce on the domain controller where you
implemented the change. If a client computer still gives you grief try
rebooting. --- Steve
