I created a new GPO to force people to change their
passwords. I also wanted to force people to change it if
it was blank. When I apply this to people...after a log
on/off they aren't forced to change the password. Am I
missing something here ?
 
I have been having a similar problem with this. You
should set in the GPO. enforce password history and use
complexity so the user must mix letters and numbers. Then
apply the policy to the domain. In active directry right
click on each user and click change password. put a tick
to make them change their password.
I know this is time consuming and a lot of extra work but
it worked for me. People who choose blank passwords a re
a real pain i hope it helped.

It may save you some time if you set a maximum password
age to say a week allow everyone to change and then reset
to normal.

Good luck
