Hi All,
I tried to set up password change for users using OWA (Exchange 2007) and when I tried to change I get the following error:

The password supplied does not meet the minimum security requirements. Please contact technical support for your organization if you need help.


The second error is when I tried to open Domain Security policy from Administrative Tools I get:

Failed to open the group policy object you may not have appropriate rights

Details: An invalid argument was supplied

I then installed the GPO management tool and then edited the Password policy and was able to set password policy.

I would like to set this policy on the OU rather than using default Domain Security policy.

I tried this on a test DC and was able to accomplish this but when I tried on the production DC it didn't work.

could this be due to the second error above?

This server is running Windows 2003 R2 Std. Edition.

Please help

Thank you
