Pure Krome Posted May 21, 2005 Posted May 21, 2005 Hi folks. i have a w2k3 server which has my AD, DNS (internal) & DHCP - sever name is LEIA. A second server called HANSOLO has exchange 2003 installed on w2k3. All works fine. For passwords, users cannot have simple passwords. Research says that i need to do this to change this problem/feature:-1. Start | Run | GPEdit.msc2. Computer Configuration | Windows Settings | Security Settings | Account Policies | Password Policy | Password must meet complexity requirements3. Change from ENABLED to DISABLED.when i get to step 3, __BOTH__ enabled and disabled are 'grey'd out' meaning i cannot select EITHER/OR!! is there any way to fix this please?
tguy Posted May 21, 2005 Posted May 21, 2005 Check to make sure your domain group policies are not overriding this setting and removing your access to it.
Phoon Posted May 22, 2005 Posted May 22, 2005 You will need to use the administrative tools instead of gpedit.msc. Change your Domain Security Policy, Security Settings, Account Policies, Password Policy.
Pure Krome Posted May 22, 2005 Author Posted May 22, 2005 thanks guys!! the DOMAIN SECURITY POLICY was the way to go - i never knew that existed cheers1
