Your feedback and recommendation would be appreciated.
You have two separate issues here; one which is easy to resolve, the other
is more difficult.
To have password policy apply to local accounts you simply need to set the
Group Policy in a GPO that only affects the local computer and not in the
Default Domain Security Policy GPO. The Default Domain Security Policy GPO
is the only place you can set password policy if you want it to affect all
domain accounts. So, in your case you could create an OU that only contains
the server in question and create and link a GPO there, or, create and link
a GPO to the current OU and use security filtering such that only the
server in question processes the GPO.
The second issue, requiring a maximum password length of only 8 characters
is more difficult. The default password filter doesn't allow you to set a
maximum password length, so you'll need to search for a 3rd party password
filter that will allow this.
