Hi,

I know where to set must meet complexity requirements for
passwords but how do I set the complexities i.e number of
letters, numbers etc.

There is not a policy setting that will allow you to edit the complexity
requirements. You would have to create a custom passfilt.dll file in order
to control that. See the articles below for more info.
