Hello,<br />
<br />
I have a new single domain, single site, single server Wiindows 2008 SP2 network. AD configured default options, DNS, DHCP<br />
<br />
I want to configure domain policy password to accept regular passwords, no &quot;strong&quot; passwords that must be changed regularly. My administrator password is now dfr$434 and I would like it to be a simple one<br />
<br />
Where to I look for these options that should be the same for all the domain?<br />

Hello,

I have a new single domain, single site, single server Wiindows 2008 SP2 network. AD configured default options, DNS, DHCP

Where to I look for these options that should be the same for all the domain?
