How do you force the password when creating a new account
on a Win 2000 machine. As of now you can simply click
next and the user is created with out a password.
 
Change the Domain Security Policy under security setings/account
policies/password policy to have a minimum password length of other that
zero. The run secedit /refreshpolicy machine_policy enforce on the domain
controller. --- Steve
 
Run "net accounts" on a domain controller to see what it reports for minimum
password length. Possibly policy change did no take place yet and a reboot
may help. Also double check that you made the change in Domian Security
Policy - NOT local or domain controller. If you have more than one GPO for
the domain container, make the change in the top GPO in the list. To find
domain GPO's use Active Directory Users and Computers, then select the
domain/properties/Group Policy. --- Steve
