There are a number of third party tools for creating the FGPP on 2008, without 
using adsiedit. Take a look at joeware.net for one of them.

It was available starting with 2008 AD, but it’s changed greatly in 2012 in 
that it has a GUI.  I would look up the directions for doing it in Windows 2008 
R2 AD.  For that version I believe you need to use ADSI Edit and it’s not as 
straightforward.

We finally have a use case where we need to setup a separate password policy 
for a group of users. Haven’t done this before, but have read about it. Domain 
is 2008 R2 DFL/FFL. I used ADAC on a 2012 R2 box to create the PPO and assign 
it to a group. I tested and it seems to be working exactly as designed. The PPO 
is assigned to a group currently , not directly to any user accounts. When I 
right click on a user in the group, and choose “View Resultant password 
settings”  I get the following error:

But if I look at the properties of the group, it correctly shows me PPO that is 
directly associated to it:

Is this feature only available in 2012 DFL/FFL?
