Configure password policies
To complete this procedure, you must be logged on as a member of the Domain Admins security group.
- Open Configure Password Policies.
- Select the check boxes to configure the policies you want, select when you want the policies to become effective, and then click OK.
If you are still setting up the network and thus do not want the policies enabled yet, you have the option of applying the policies in a few days.
Notes
- To open Configure Password Policies, click Start, and then click Server Management. In the console tree, click Users. In the details pane, click Configure Password Policies.
- This action changes the password policies used in your entire network. Enabling or changing password policies requires all users to change their passwords the next time they log on to the network.
