Re: Cannot Add Users

Hello Dave,

Password policy is configured on the domain level by default in the default domain policy. Here you have to check the settings, any other OU will not work.

Best regards

I setup a new test server, W2003, SP2, and attempted to add a few test
users. This is not on our production network. No matter how I
disable domain security settings and DC security settings I cannot add
a user as I get the "Password does not meet the password policy
requirements" dialog box

What did I miss here ?? I disabled or set to not defined all the
settings in both the Domain server and domain sucurity policies.
