You can only set password policies affecting domain accounts 
using the "default domain policy" GPO - ie. the GPO at the 
top of the AD tree for a particular domain.

As you indentify, setting a GPO that affects computer 
accounts lower down in the AD tree will only affect local accounts.

Does anyone know why the password policy is a computer and not a
user-based setting?
