<p>Hey Bill-thank you. So how do I edit the default
domain GPO and not an OU within the domain? This is what I see:</p>

<p><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D">No problem. Either edit
the Default Domain GPO and change the settings under Windows
Settings>Security Settings>Account Policies/Password Policy, or add a GPO
that does the same thing. You have to set this at the Domain level not in
an OU within the domain. That is a limitation of Win2k3.</span></p>

<p>I'm sure this is easy for some of you, but I have never had to change the
password policy and I need to. We are running with one Primary Domain
Controller, running Windows 2000 Server.<br clear="all">
