I have been unable to get this to work. I do have block inheritance set on the OU's I don't want to be affected by complex passwords. Unfortunately, these users are still affected. What might I be doing wrong? I don't have No Override set for the domain-level GPO, so this really ought to be working...

However, if the somebody turns on "No Override" for some policy at the domain level, then you, as an OU administrator, cannot block that particular policy from applying to your OU. (This is the business practice that says "the higher up the tree you live, the bigger stick you have") Cheers Bud Windows System Administrator, MCSE 2000 [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----Original Message----- From: Matt Hoffman [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: June 25, 2003 8:42 AM To: NT 2000 Discussions Subject: AD Complex Passwords Question We're just beginning to implement AD here, and I have a quick question on the complex passwords setting. I know that this is a domain-level setting, and that you can't specify that just a single OU gets the complex passwords, but is there a way to turn it OFF for a specific OU (I'm guesssing the answer is NO, but I figured I'd ask the experts anyway)? I would really like to have the complex passwords be in place for my staff but not for my public PC's (this is a library). Any help would be greatly appreciated.
