Strong password policy not applying?

I've created a policy to enable the "force strong password" option, and
applied this to an OU containing some user accounts. I've also ticked No
Override on this policy.
When I try and change the password logged in as a user from this OU I can
still set it to something non-strong. I then thought that because the
password option is in Computer Settings rather than User Settings, I tried
moving the computer I was using to test this into the same OU, but this
still won't work...

What am I missing here?

Password policy for domain users can only be applied at domain level and
there are no exceptions - think of it as having a built in no override. You
can configure the policy at the OU level, but it will apply to only "local"
user accounts on computers in that OU. --- Steve

I'm with you - seems to work ok now. I was going to do that anyway, I was
just hoping to test it on a subset first but not to worry!
