It is my understanding that your request to enforce all four properties
can only be enforced on the domain level.  There is no way to have one
password complexity policy on the domain level and a second more
password complexity policy on a child OU.

Subject: Password complexity - improvement

Is there a way to improve the password complexity requirements in
Windows 2000/2003 servers

The default will enforce 3 of the following 4 properties - Uppercase,
smallercase, numbers, special-characters.

Is there a way to enforce all 4 properties. I donot want to install
third-party software

I have read about customising passfilt.dll . Is that recommended. Does
MS provide a customised passfilt.dll for download and install.

Are there any support issues if I go for something like this ?
