I would define whatever password policy you want at the domain level and set complex
to disabled [instead of undefined] if you do not want to use it. Then run secedit
/refreshpolicy machine_policy /enforce on the domain controller where you make the
change and then use gpupdate /force on the XP boxes or reboot to see if it helps.
Also since you are running XP boxes, be sure that the security option for additional
restrictions for anonymous connections is NOT no access without explicit anonymous
permissions in the Domain Controller Security policy. --- Steve
