Is there any way I can define the password complexity requirements? For
example I want to make it so the user must have a lower case and a number in
their password, and optional of the Upper case and special characters. Is
there any way to change this in WS2003:ADUC?

Either purchase or write your own dll for password complexity
checking compliance. Writing a robust one, which it must be as
it is tied in deeply, is not for the inexperienced, and will also only
be useful for pre-Vista era Windows systems.
