Password Policy in Win2k Domain

[Guest]

I just want to confirm what I think I have read...

In a Windows 2000 domain you may only have one Password Policy per domain.
There is no way to give each OU their own Password Policy.

In a Windows 2003 domain, each OU may have it's own Password Policy.

Is this all correct?

Hi Deborah,

It is same for Windows 2000 and Windows 2003 domain. The only policy that
will be applied is domain policy. If you set password (account) policy on OU
it will affect only _local_ user account on PCs affected by policy.

Correct.

Nope, no change in a 2003 domain, works the same as a 200 domain.
