I am having trouble getting a GPO that I created today to give me the
desired results. My server is a Win2K and the workstation is a WinXP. The
GPO I created defines some Account policies. The trouble I am having is
with the enforce password complexity rule. I run gpedit.msc on the XP
machine and it shows the correct GPO settings but when I go to the server
and force user to change password at next logon, it ask me to change but it
does not enforce the rules. Does anyone have any idea on this?

Thanks,
Preacher Man
 
Thanks for the tip, I didn't know how to do that.
