Passwords require a dash

[Bob Doyle]

Hello,

How can I stop my Win2003 Domain Controller from requiring my account
passwords require a dash?

Thanks,
Bob

By default Windows 2003 has password complexity enabled which requires
passwords to have a certain length and require certain characters as
described in the KB below. You would have to disable requirement for
complexity in the Domain Security Policy for all domain users. Be sure to
set it to disabled and not undefined. personally I think it is a good
setting to use. --- Steve
