I don't know, but in the meantime you can configure a message text for users trying
to logon with a brief note on what the requirements are. This can be done appropriate

> Hello! This is a very specific question about the Swedish version of Windows 2000
(SP4). I want to know if it is a bug, feature or simply "by design". When you
implement that "passwords must meet complexity requirements" in Active Directory - if
you try to change your password and enter a password that doesn't meet the
requirements, you'll be instructed what the requirements are. (I.e. mix capital
letters, not your username, use numbers etc.). In the Swedish version of Windows 2000
all you get as a user is : "You need to enter a password that matches the password
policy". This is extremely bad since it generates tons of calls to our helpdesk with
questions about how to enter a password that's right - since they don't know what the
requirements are. Can someone tell me if there is or will be a patch or somekind of
workaround for this?
