asked on Password setting/command in Windows Server 2012
I am currently working on a check list for password related settings in different operating systems. Can someone help me with the exact command/settings for Windows Server 2012?
Also is the command the same in Active Directory or is there a difference?
Password requirement Operating system command/setting for Windows Server 2012 ver x
Password must contain at least 1 numeric character

Dear McKnife,
I re-read this paragraph once again and you're right. I put this not too clear and this is wrong, you're right. Thank you for clarifying this out.
What I meant was: "[..]you can also do that on domain member server[..] I meant, you can define password policy from member server with GPMC to edit Default Password policy and if there is no communication with a domain, password settings are stored locally, so local users need to follow rules and can change password. Of course, domain account cannot change password if there is no connection to the DC :)
As long as machine is a member of a domain, local password policy cannot be modified, it's simple grayed out :)
To have possibility to configure different local password policy on domain members, you need to create separate password policy within domain an apply it at particular server's OU. But this only affects local accounts.
Thank you once again for sorting this out and letting me know about mistake. In previous form, it's wrong, I agree
Regards,
Krzysztof

"You can also do that on domain member servers and workstations if no communication with domain is possible then local password policy is being used." - no, when a domain password policy is in effect, the local policy is overwritten and will never be applied. Not for local accounts and, logically, not for domain accounts since those passwords cannot be changed without domain connectivity, anyway.
