Cannot Add Users Dave Mackler 11-01-2007

 I setup a new test server, W2003, SP2, and attempted to add a few test
users. This is not on our production network. No matter how I disable
domain security settings and DC security settings I cannot add a user as I
get the "Password does not meet the password policy requirements" dialog box

What did I miss here ?? I disabled or set to not defined all the settings
in both the Domain server and domain sucurity policies.

 Hello Dave,

Password policy is configured on the domain level by default in the default
domain policy. Here you have to check the settings, any other OU will not
work.

Hello Dave,

Maybe you start with rebuilding the default security settings:

Even though this is a test network, you should still configure a
reasonably secure password for the test accounts.
