I am trying to force the users on my network to use secure passwords by using a GPO. I know that you can set secure password policies for local user accounts through a GPO but I want to force the domain user accounts to use secure passwords. I want to apply this to a specific OU and not the whole domain. I think it can be done because I remember briefly touching on this in one of the classes that I took but I can't figure out how to do it. Does anyone know?

Thank You

Account policies are 1 to a domain.
You would apply the password policy at the domain level. Account policies
applied at the OU level have no affect when logging onto the domain, they
come into play when a user logs on to a computer in the OU locally.
