Re: Cannot Add Users

Specify the exact settings you want in Domain Security Policy and that
assumes you have not created any additional GPO's linked to the domain that
have a higher priority than the default domain GPO. Also do NOT change the
settings you saw to undefined but instead define them to what you need -
particularly password complexity which should be set to disabled if you do
not want to use it for some reason instead of undefined..

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.
