I want to define password policy (lengh, age etc.) under the group policy of a user group. I did it "Computer Configuration\Windows Settings\Security Settings\Account Policies\Password Policy\" but when a user of this group login to domain, this policy has no effect on the user.

I have Windows 2003 server running with all the user name and policies in the AD. I installed Windows 2003 on another machine as a standby server (backup server for contingency). Every time I create a new user or edit some policy in my running server I have to repeate the same in the standby server. How can I copy the AD from my running server and restore on the standby machine? Thanks
