Hi,

Does anynone have any idea why Active Directory is not allowing me to
use simple passwords If i create a new user or reset a password. It
keeps giving errors which read :

For password change

" Windowns cannot complete the password chage for <user> because: The
password does not meet the password policy requirements. Check Minimum
password length, password complexity and password history
requirements"

For user addtions

" Windowns cannot complete the password chage for <user> because: The
password does not meet the password policy requirements. Check Minimum
password length, password complexity and password history requirement.

Windows will attemp to re-create the user object. If windows cannot
re-create the user object contact your system administrator" ( that
would be Me )

I have already confirmed and there are no policies enabled anywhere in
the domain. And even if they were, all there values are set to "Not
configured"

Your Help is greatly appreciated, Thank you

GC
