With a domain, you may only have a single password policy for the enitre domain. Add a comment. Active Oldest Votes. Improve this answer. Is there any way that I can configure this policy now, but keep it inactive?? I'm waiting for management to make a final decision on the exact password policy, but I want to be able to deploy this quickly after the decision is made.
There isn't. Is there a way to configure this only for a specific OU?? Open the Enforce Password History policy. In the Effective Policy Setting field, specify five passwords remembered. Click the OK button.
Open the Maximum Password Age policy. In the Local Policy Setting field, specify that the password expires in 60 days. You are the administrator of a large network. You have been making changes to your member server's local computer policies and notice that none of the options are being applied.
You wait over 30 minutes and the changes are still not there. At this point, you are beginning to think you edited something improperly.
If you edit your group policies and your changes are not taking effect, it is because the group policies are only applied every 90 minutes to computers by default. You can force your policies to be updated by typing gpupdate at a command prompt. The account lockout policies are used to specify how many invalid logon attempts should be permitted. You configure the account lockout policies so that after x number of unsuccessful logon attempts within y number of minutes, the account will be locked for a specified amount of time or until the administrator unlocks it.
The account lockout policies are described in Table 3. Account Lockout Threshold.

Anything else GP related that may not be working? M Boyle wrote: Nope, not locally. Use gpresult. M Boyle wrote: Use gpresult. I have even created a new user, just to see if I can change the password..
So I guess the easiest and most unprofessional way would be to reset the password through AD. And hopefully, we'll have a new server up and running soon. How many Domain Controllers do you have? Try setting a password policy: Create a new GPO just for passwords.
Settings: Change password every 60 days. No change before 1 day. Specify the policy: 8 chars, 1 number, 1 special. No lockout.

Read these next The samAccountName is checked in its entirety only to determine whether it is part of the password.
If the samAccountName is less than three characters long, this check is skipped. The displayName is parsed for delimiters: commas, periods, dashes or hyphens, underscores, spaces, pound signs, and tabs. If any of these delimiters are found, the displayName is split and all parsed sections tokens are confirmed to not be included in the password. Tokens that are less than three characters are ignored, and substrings of the tokens are not checked.
For example, the name "Erin M. Hagens" is split into three tokens: "Erin", "M", and "Hagens". Because the second token is only one character long, it is ignored. Therefore, this user could not have a password that included either "erin" or "hagens" as a substring anywhere in the password.
