You want to search for fine grained passwords &nbsp;with FGPP you still can't like a different password setting object (think of it as a policy) to an OU but you can link it to groups and users.<br />

We are going to implement password complexities on our domain and would like to deploy this out slowly by AD Groups. &nbsp;With Server2008R2 can I create the policy and link this to my end user OU and slowly add the AD Groups that I want the policy to apply to until eventually having the whole domain on the same password policy? &nbsp;I have read that the only way to accomplish this is to go through configuring the Granular Password Settings using ASDI Edit which I am not totally familiar with.
