Windows Server 2003 & 2008 password does not meet the policy requirements solution

        The problem with the domain's protocol is that the password settings do not conform to the policy group's specifications. In this case, you need to set the response option in the domain policy to reduce the complexity of the password. (The default complexity requires at least 7 characters and contains multiple letters and numbers.) The Windows Server 2003 solution is: Select Start > Programs > Administrative Tools > Domain Security Policy > Account Policies > Password Policy Passwords must match Complexity requirement: changed from “enabled” to “disabled”; password length minimum: changed from “7 characters” to “0 characters" : 1. Wait for the system to automatically refresh the group policy, about 5 minutes to 15 minutes 2. Restart the domain controller (if it is a modified user policy, log out) 3. Use the gpupdate command to refresh only the computer policy: gpupdate/target: computer only refresh User policy: gpupdate/target:user Both are refreshed: gpupdate Windows Server 2008 is different, the administrator can not modify its password policy from the local policy group, but need to go from GPM (Group Policy Management) " Group Policy Manager Modify it in ". The steps are as follows: In Windows Server 2008, open the GPM (Group Policy Management) method: Select start -> ;Administrator Tools->Group Policy Management->Run as administrator/Open (Open with administrator privileges) After opening GPM, expand the tree node: Forest: [YOUR DOMAIN NAME (your domain name)]->domain->[YOUR DOMAIN NAME]->Group Policy Object. Right click on Default Domain Policy. Selecting Edit The above will open the Group Policy Management Editor dialog box, expand the tree node: Computer Configuration->Windows Settings->Security Settings( Security Settings) -> Account Policy -> Password Policy You can see the policy settings for the password, as long as the second last item: Password must meet complexity requirments Can be disabled. The rest of the strategy is set by the situation. Finally select start->run (run), enter gpupdate to force the update of group policy settings. Wait for the command line to finish.
