Home About. However, the domain admin or user who has been delegated password reset permissions in AD can manually set the old password for the account;. If the specific domain account is locked out too often, you can identify the source of account lockouts using this method.
In a recent Security Baseline recommendation, Microsoft specify that there is no need to enable password expiration policy for users. Password expiration does not increase security, but only creates unnecessary problems link. Domain password policy only affects user AD objects. Computer passwords that provide domain trust relationship have their own GPO settings.
In a workgroup environment, you will have to configure password policies on each computer using the local GPO editor — gpedit. Connect and share knowledge within a single location that is structured and easy to search. I've logged onto the domain controller Windows Server and found the option in local policies which is of course locked from any changes. However I can't find the same sort of policies in the group policy manager. Which nodes do I have to expand out to find it? You're looking to change the password complexity setting you found in the "Default Domain Policy", not the local group policy.
Then do a "gpupdate" and you'll see the change take effect. Then dig into the "Computer Configuration", "Windows Settings", "Security Settings", "Account Policies", and modify the password complexity requirements setting. Editing the "Default Domain Policy" is definitely a quick-and-dirty thing to do.
The better thing to do, once you get a better handle on group policy management, would be to return the default back to default settings and make a new GPO overriding the default with the settings you want. To get you by fast, though, editing the default isn't going to hurt you. I'd also like to point out that in a Windows Server domain, you can have multiple password policies applied to different OUs; with previous versions of AD, you could only have a single global password policy for each domain.
It's good reading to make sure you understand what you can do now, especially since you stated that you are using Windows Double-click the item in the Policy list that you want to change, change the setting, and then click OK. I recommend creating a new policy named 'Password' or something similarly helpful rather than editing the Default. You need to log on domain controller using administrative account so you have sufficient privileges to make the change.
Unfortunately, there is no option for you to edit or change the default domain policy.
