Hi,

The password must meet complexity requirements policy must be contain characters from three of the following four categories:

English uppercase characters (A through Z)
English lowercase characters (a through z)
Base 10 digits (0 through 9)
Non-alphabetic characters (for example, !, $, #, %)

How I can customize this policy to be two of four categories?


Thanks,

you would have to go in and edit the Local Security Policy. Go to run and typy in gpedit.msc and that will bring up the editor.

for your scenario however, i believe you either have to hack up the passfilt.dll or pay$$

google 'granular password complexity'

There's no really need for that. gpedit.msc will suffice.

Indeed you have a mess of stars, but no concrete examples?

I do not believe that you can drop the complexity rules from its current 'ANY 3 of existing 4 rules' to 'ANY 2 of existing 4 rules' by any simple means in gpedit.

I believe I would enjoy being proved wrong more than the OP would enjoy getting an easy answer.
