also, if you right click on the OU that the user resides in, and run a RSOP (resultant set of policy planning mode), you will see exactly what settings are being applied for the users within that OU

Adding to what Jay said, you can also run an RSOP report for a particular computer using Group Policy Managment Console (GPMC). &nbsp;If you are going to start getting into group policy then learn this tool.<br />
<br />
One of my favorite Group Policy MVP's has some really good videos about GPMC<br />

Remember the password policy needs to be set at the domain level. <br />

Suppose that if I installed a Windows 2003 Server on my PC including the Active Directory.<br />
I would like to know the group policy that applied to a particular user, to be specific I would like to know the minimum password length policy. <br />
<br />
What is the best way to find it out? Actually, At the moment I am kind of confuse on which group policy will be applied if there are more than one... <br />

Finding corresponding group policy for a particular user

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).
