err, actually the password policy is stored in the
machine portion of the GPO and thus applies to all machines and therefore
all local user objects too.

Impossible/irrelevant. If it's a domain account, the policy
applies regardless, because the account is stored in AD. If it's a local
account, then the policy doesn't apply regardless; domain account policies
don't apply to local accounts. Is this a local account or a domain
account?

If you mean before the policy was set up, then, no.
This policy has been in effect for a couple of years and
the account was created a month ago..
Maybe the PC is not getting the Default Domain Policy?

Tom,
This is just a
stab in the dark but is it possible that this user's password was set
prior to the Default Domain Policy being in effect?

password issue
I'm
having this weird issue where I have a user account who is able to
log in with a blank password.
The
Default Domain Policy is set to a min password length of 6
characters.
The
userAccountControl on the user is set to 512.
The
Domain is at win2k3 DFL and FFL.
Is
there any other way besides a migration tool like Quest that could
circumvent this policy and allow blank
passwords?
