Enable complex password in Active Directory
Hello,
We need to enable complex password in our small organization. I am creating a test GPO:
Computer Configuration/Windows Settings/Security Settings/Account Policies/Password Policy
and enable complex password, max password age 90 days, min password age 30 days, 8 characters.
How do I configure such that when the user login next time, they need to change to a complex password?
Another important question, we have a lot of service accounts and we cannot change their passwords to a complex password overnight. How can this be avoided in the first round which is to change the users first?
Our AD is in 2008.
Thanks.

Would someone please elaborate how to do "user must change password in the next logon" in GPO?
I am not 100% in that.
Thanks.
