Conflicting Group Policies
Hello. In our group policies we have several OU. We have two OU in particular that we want the objects to have separate password lengths. I made two fresh policies, and I changed the security settings for each. I made one policy with the long password and one with a short password. In all of the remaining policies, I changed the security settings to Not Configured.
When I linked the policies to the respective the OUs, the long password policy would override the other. The only way to get the password with the short limit was to not link the policy for the long password to any OU.
