Windows Server 2003 and complex passwords not being detected

-

we've implemented new password policy @ our institution:

policy setting
enforce password history 12 passwords remembered
maximum password age 180 days
minimum password age 0 days
minimum password length 8 characters
password must meet complexity requirements enabled
store passwords using reversible encryption disabled


we've run funny problem when comes password complexity.

this password doesn't work: deadpool12

this password work: 00deadpool12

does windows server 2003 @ first 8 characters determine if meets complexity standards?


we did. that's example came from:

this password doesn't work: deadpool12

this password work: 00deadpool12

i guess moot point since can't see password history verify anything.

i'm going chalk password history , bad string matching.

Edit Group Policy

i have pc has power settings pushed out default domain policy in ad environment. of course on local machine "some settings managed system adminstrator". the machine temporarily no longer in contact domain controller (it's been physically moved , not on same network now) can't updated gpo settings. i believe if edit local group policy won't make difference because of group policy processing , precedence. since it's temporary away ad network, still want use settings of ad user. is there somewhere in registry stored can edit power plan manually until can sync domain? (i need prevent sleeping while plugged in - it's set 1 hour) thanks! allen crist i found site: http://gpsearch.azurewebsites.net/#7916 i able add policy to hkey_local_machine\software\policies\microsoft\power using specs found on site. looks solved issue. i'll report if didn't. thanks! allen crist ...
