Re: Group Policy

Hi,

In a domain -- there can be only one password (account) policy and this one
policy is applied at domain level. While you can add additional password
policies and apply them to e.g. OU it will only apply to local accounts on
computers in that OU. This policy will _not_ have any effect on domain user
accounts.

Account and local policies

I have disabled the policy of 'Password must meet complexity requirements'
in my OU Group Policy. And I realize that GP has been successfully
applied
onto my XP client from GPRESULT. However, the Local Policy Setting in the
my
XP client doesn't show this policy is disabled, complexity password still
required when I create local user account. Please help... Thank you.
