You can set it at a group poilicy set at the domain level like every other version of Active Directory
Computer Configuration/Windows Settings/Security Settings/Account Policies/Password Policy
If your domain functional level is at 2008 or higher you can also use fine grained passwords if you want different policies for different groups/users. You can now do that via a GUI
