Thank you...<br />

Yes the computer is part of a domain. On ths domain controller, that policy reads &quot;disabled&quot; but on the workstation itself it reads&quot; enabled&quot;. &nbsp;I'm trying to creat local users on the workstation.<br />
btw gpupdate /z only shows the command use like help... am I wrong somewhere?

Doh, sorry, gpresult is the command!<br />
<br />
gpresult /z if very verbose mode (or something like that) and shows everything and the policy names that apply etc. /v offers less information as does gpresult on it's own.<br />

Actually you were right; it is because of the domain policy. It's OK now but I don't know why it took a long time to recocile with the dc.<br />
<br />
Thank you very much.

Turning off Password Must Meet Complexity Requirments

Microsoft Windows XP is the sixth release of the NT series of operating systems, and was the first to be marketed in a variety of editions: XP Home and XP Professional, designed for business and power users. The advanced features in XP Professional are generally disabled in Home Edition, but are there and can be activated. There were two 64-bit editions, an embedded edition and a tablet edition.
