Hi,<br />
<br />
I finish creating a new win2k3 server and promoted it as the GC and main DC. The server is on another location and now when I'm using remote desktop to create a new account, it's giving me the password complexity popup. I'm logged on using the administrator account and have made the password so complex and it still doesn't work. I tried to check the password complexity settings in the GPO and nothing is defined...what can I do to troubleshoot this?<br />
<br />
<br />
Cheers!

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).
