Hi Guy's,

I have a W2k3 server, clean install, which I have promoted to a DC.

Prior to it being a DC I could hapilly use a 6 or 7 character password of my choosing.

After promotion to a DC whan I try and create a new (domain) user the 'password does not meet complextiy requirements' message appears. The same happens if I try to change the Administrator password.

Ok, So I could meet the reqiurements using a password of uppercase, lowercase, numbers, etc. But I don't want to.

I have been into the default domain GPO and set all of the password complexity requirements as 'Not Defined' but the error message still comes up.

Any ideas?

Worked for me in VMware.

 

Ahh, So it needs to be defined, just at a lower value.

I never knew that!

Thanks TG.

 

NP, glad I could help.
