Applying password complexity setting in Domain Policy

[Scott]

It is currently not defined. If I turn this on, will all users be forced to change their passwords at next logon, or will it wait until the next password change interval?

I just dont want to define the policy, then have everyone have to change their password immediately.

Thanks

If you make their password expire in 60 days users whose password is over 60 days will be prompted to change their password. Passwords under 60 days will not be affected until 60 days.

Password prompt change for different users varies and will not happen all at
the same time. See also Danny's post.

Do let us know if this helps. Thanks.
