Hi,<br />
<br />
We are looking to change our minimum password length from 6 to 7 on the domain, and were wondering what the effects for the end users will be.<br />
<br />
We believe that the users will just need to conform with the new policy the next time they change their password, but wanted to double check. &nbsp;We want to make sure they aren't going to all get prompted to change their password on next login or anything that maybe disruptive or out of the ordinary to them.<br />
<br />
Cheers,<br />
