Password policies are set at the domain level, assuming 2003 or earlier. You can't get there from here unless you create a new domain for those 27 people.

I want to enforce some password requirements, that are not in effect now. I've done this by creating a new group policy, at the top level of my user OUs. I've gone into Computer configuration -> Windows settings -> Security settings -> Account policies -> Password policy. I set the minimum length, etc. Then, in the right side window for the GPO in GPMC, I use Security filtering to apply the policy to one specific user, for testing. I then went into that user's account, and checked the box for must change password. Then, I go to the machine where I have this user account logged in, go to command prompt and type in gpupdate /force, reboot the machine, and go to change the password. To test it, I tried using a very short password, and it was allowed. What am I doing wrong here? I've got 27 new computers rolling out tomorrow, and we want to enforce the password stuff for those 27 people, but I need to get this right.
