I am running a test win 2003 domain. I have diabled all domain policies but
when i go to add a user, it still tells me that the password has not met the
requirements.

What do I have to do to change this?
 
Edit the Default Domain Policy and navigate to:

Computer Configuration/Windows Settings/Security Settings/Account
Policies/Password Policy

Then make the following changes (the password legnth one if optional but I
included it in case you wanted no restrictions at all):

Disable Password must meet complexity requirements
minimum password legnth - 0

Then go to the command line and type:

gpupdate /target:computer /force

Now you should be set.

Please let me know if you'd like me to explain anything in further detail.

Nick
