Why are you looking to change the password policy? what is the business driver for this?
Also what would be the effective loss to the business if one of the more high level employee's password's was cracked (i.e. an engineer that has access to software designs)?

All, In the interest of curiosity, I have a theoretical question for your consideration and debate... What measures would you need to see in place in a small business (fewer than 500 users) to feel comfortable with setting a password policy that sets standard complexity (that is, at least three of the standard four character types - UC, LC, numeric and special), miniumum10 characters in length, with no expiration, no history and no mimimum age? Assume a Win2k8R2 single domain forest.
