What GPO are you are you updating is this a GPO linked at the domain level. <br />
<br />
&nbsp;In your situation if you are running in 2008 domain functional level then you can also use fine grained passwords which can be set to users and/or groups<br />
<br />
Thanks<br />

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
Client: &nbsp;Windows 2008 Server (With most updated SP)<br />
Server: Windows 2008 Server (With AD) (With most updated SP)<br />
Login: &nbsp; &nbsp;We login as Administrator in all computer.<br />
<br />
Problem: &nbsp;Server enabled &quot;Require Complex password policy&quot; by default. it mean we cannot use 123456 as password because it is too simple. However, after we update the GPO to allow this kind of simple password. &nbsp;We still cannot use 123456 as password while adding new Active Directory Domain user.<br />
<br />
Did i miss anything? Need reboot or do something ? Thanks.
