group policy not changing password in SBS 2003

jag001 · 05-11-2006, 04:03 PM

Hi All,

I have been trying to lower the security of the passwords for small business server down from requiring a symbol to only numbers and letters and from 8 characters to 6 characters. I changed the policy in the Domain controller section, the Domain security section as well I changed the password policy in the system management section. I did a gpupdate /force and it did not take, then i did a reboot and still when i try to reset a password it does not work. Also below i have pasted the information stated in GPResult Does anyone have an idea as to what I am doing wrong.

Thanks for all your help
