Guys. Afaik you can set in effect password polices on an ou basis. The polcies are setup via creation of a GPO and then applied to the OU. Depending on how inheritance is setup afaik the default settings will mean that the GPO closest to the active directory object (user / computer) will take effect. Mgk
This is incorrect. User accounts, and hence also passwords, belong to the domain. As such, only domain policies will affect them, as only domain-wide policies affect the account repository itself. You will have certainly noticed that password/account policy restrictions are available in the group policy editor. If you create a policy and apply it to an OU, it will apply to accounts repositories that live under that OU. This will not affect domain users, but it will affect local machine accounts created on any machines within that OU.
