Change default password policy

[Misaro]

At this moment we have a domain with 300 users, no
password policy set so far, .Now we need to set a
password policy (minimun password 6 characters)

So, the problem is I need to find a way to do it
simultaneously on all users. On this way enforce all users
to change the password as soon as possible

Thanks any comments !

There are several ways to do this. I would create the Password Policy ( I
like to use the Domain Security Policy ) and use something like ADModify or
ldifde to make the user have to change the password at next logon.

BTW - when you create the password policy I would also include the lockout
information.

Since you are doing this, you might want to look at the Account Lockout
tools ( ALTools ). They are really useful.
