"Note: On Windows 8 or Server 2012 Directory Services Administration Center 
(DSAC.EXE) you will find an option on a user account with a right click for 
checking resultant password policies. This does not work until the schema is 
extended to support Windows 2012 domain controllers. The powershell command 
does work without extending the schema.”

So you can use Get-ADuserResultantPasswordPolicy <USERNAME>

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?

Thanks,
