Question for the group. I researched legacy threads on this subject but didn't see any clear examples / strategies..If we wanted to implement a password policy beyond 14 characters say with 15 being a minimum, how do people manage that given GPO limitations.

Thanks.

Damian.

What specific GPO limitations are you referring to?

Hi,

Let me rephrase slightly..GPO appears to set a max min length to 14 characters. Does that change once the minimum password length attribute has been updated in AD to support say 15?

Thanks.

Damian.

That you can't set a requirement for 15 character passwords in the
native group policy.

Thanks Joe (ever reliable),

This will change the setting *but* how is that then managed exposed to the user given the fact that you cant manage it via a GPO...

Not sure I understand the question.



Is this for domain policy? If so, then you need to manage directly through
the attribute, you will find that the GPO will be updated to reflect the
change. Alternately you can look at FGPP through PSOs.



If this is for policy on member machines separate from what the domain is
doing, this is going to be trickier, the only thing I could think of would
be to modify the policy files directly.

As I recall there's a UI limitation in GPOE that doesn't allow you to
specify a minimum password age > 14.

As I also recall it's easily worked around by modifying the relevant
attribute on the domain head in ADSI Edit.
