Setup a password policy on the domain ?

[raket]

Where can I setup a password policy that will be applied to everybody in our domain ?

For example, every password expires after 3 months, has to have a length 6-26, has to have at least 1 letter / 1 number

?

Thanks.

Go into Active Directory Users and Computers. Right click on your domain name and select properties. Go to the group policy tab. There should be a group policy called "Default Domain Policy". Highlight that policy and select "Edit".

Expand "Computer Confguration", then "Windows Settings", then "Security Settings", then "Account Policies", then click on "Password Policy." In the right-hand pane you will see the options that you are looking for.

Note: password policy can only be set from the default domain policy. Even if you change these settings in policies created at a future date, the settings specified ni the default domain policy will take precedence.
