GPO's
I want to use GPO (group policies) to force passwords to be more complexed. in my windows 2003 domain....I've made a new test container and made a policy. I went into computer configuration/windows settings/security settings/account policies/password policies, I enabled abunch of policies in there.......after that i went to my test machine that has a user account in my test OU and tested it......first i did a gpupdate/force and then rebooted.......I went into active directory to force the account to change the password........well the policy didn't work.....what am i doing wrong?........I'm always having problems with computer configuration policies

After waiting for a few moments for your server to get it publish if you use: gpupdate /force /sync instead of just /force. Thats should take. If not you will probably have to look into your Group Policy Results wizard. There you can run a query on the user and computer you are targeting to find out what GPOs are appliying as well as why they may not be.
And what sembee says is true by the way. It's a Domain wide thing.
Yep - if you want multiple password policies you have to have multiple domains (tree/forest)
