RE: How to Enforce Complex Password Policy for Selected Users Only

Without 3d party tools, you cannot have separate policies applied to
different user accounts in the same domain.  We use Password Policy
Enforcer with good results (www.anixis.com).

When using standard Windows policies, such security measures take effect
on the system, not the user.  In a domain environment, the 'system' is
the domain controller, not the clients desktop.  So, in the case of
_local_ accounts, you can have a separate policy applied to any computer
(via local policy), or the users OU (via GPO).  In the case of domain
accounts the relevant password policy is the one applied to the Domain
Controllers OU, and effects ALL user accounts for that domain.
