Re: Password Policy by OU

Danny is correct in his comment. Your only alternative, other than
defining more domains, is to use smart cards for some users or to
aquire a password complexity gina from a third-party (or write one).
The last alternative is a time-limited feature as these types of
extensions are only to be supported as is on pre-Vista/pre-Longhorn.

Is it possible that we deploy password policy by OU? Let say, the HR
users' passwords are 8 characters in length, They must be changed every
30 days. The Manufacturing users' passwords are 6 characters in length and
must be changed every 42 days. I then setup 2 OUs. One for HR and one for
MFG and apply a GPO for each OU.

Any comments/suggestions are appreciated.

Thanks,

DF
