Is it possible to use GPO to restrict the maximum password length? We have some applications that have a limitation of 10 characters and need to ensure that our user A/D passwords do not exceed 10 characters.I only find minimum password length restrictions.Thanks in advance for any assistance or suggestions?

Hi, I am afraid that the message is hardcoded and we cannot set the maximum password length in Active Directory domain. Microsoft provides a sample password filter (Passfilt.dll) for administrators who want to increase password policy. You may check if it can meet your requirement: Sample Password Filter http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms722439.aspx Installing and Registering a Password Filter DLL http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms721766(VS.85).aspx#password_filter_functions For more information about programming, please post to the MSDN forum.
