You must set the length on the default domain policy, set anywhere else
(Unless we are talking Win2008 and there are new options) it will only
effect the local accounts.

I did a live.com search and here is a link that should help

Use the RSOP (Resultant Set of Policy) to help you debug the problem. If
you have multiple dc's with sites, make sure replication has completed so as
to validate any changes that you may have made are completely in sync.

Another word of note is that the new password length will only take affect
the next time the users change their passwords.

Good point, I should have pointed that out. I'm just assuming that he is
trying to change his password but maybe he was expecting it to force a new
length.

Make sure you have set this in the default domain policy. It will be
ignored if it is set elsewhere.

Well it doesn't have to be on the DEFAULT domain police (and that
probably should not be modified) but ona A DOMAIN linked
policy.

there is no point in creating a new GPO at domain level with
password/account lockout policies. The settings of the new policy will be
written to the domain head and the PDC writes it back again to the default
domain GPO

It is a best practice to leave the Default Domain Policy as is,
but in any case it is NOT "required" to make the change there.

The option exists to make it to ANY domain linked GPO.

Jorge
Tue Jun 17 13:43:26 PDT 2008

why? as I say, you can put it in another GPO, but the PDC in the end puts it
in the default domain GPO. So what's the best practice?

You're saying that changes to one GPO on the domain, will be
AUTOMATICALLY move to the Default Domain Policy?

Seems like this is accurate information -- given the quality of the
description but it mentions there how ODD, undocumented and
unexpected this seems to be so you might have just said that
earlier.

Jorge
Wed Jun 18 13:47:14 PDT 2008

I did not give you the link because I had to search for it. It wasn't easy.
I knew the info existed, but did not remember where. So it took a while

You could have just mentioned what you had in mind.

Turns out its wrong anyway.

Because it doesn't work that way on Win2003 AD R2.

I told you that I went and checked.

It sounded improbably so I checked.

No. You didn't. But it is still wrong -- and still bad advice.

Jorge
Thu Jun 19 12:29:14 PDT 2008

how do you know I did not check? were you sitting next to me?

I actually did. Apparently behavior may have changed

Another thing, why are you having that kinda rude attitude? Have I done
something wrong here?

I don't care whether you checked or not since I checked
and it doesn't work that way.

That way was always illogical and likely nonsensical so
to beleive such nonsense without checking would be foolish
since checking is trivial.

"Apparently may"??? Is that an apology?

I correct incorrect information (like you gave) if you find that
rude this is a personal problem of yours and you might want to seek
help with that.

If I post something wrong then I HOPE you will correct me.

Now, when what you post is WRONG and you still keep
arguing about it you look foolish.

it looks like you are the person that knows ALL....

it is not the first time that behavior changes between SPs/hotfixes. I did
test/try it, but I did not test/try all SPs.

good luck with yourself. try not to be that rude next time. I think you are
the one that looks foolish behaving like this.

Thank you but that isn't the case.

Which is why I told you the OS and version. Do you know of a
version where there is different behavior that you can reproduce?

It is a goofy sounding thing, so it will require actual evidence that
we can reproduce.

Ok. You prefer being "polite" but wrong, but are being both rude
and wrong.
