Re: Cannot Add Users

Try running the command net accounts on the server to see what the current
password policy shows to see if it is what you expect though it will not
show if omplexity is enabled but at this point I would assume that it is and
then make sure you use a complex password that is at least the minimum
length starting with something like Pass1* .

Yes but that is not the point or the question as even long complex
passwords are failing.

Even though this is a test network, you should still configure a
reasonably secure password for the test accounts.

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

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.
