I thought that this type of Account policy was a Domain wide thing and not a
specific OU and that wanting different account policies was one of the
reasons one would set up child domains.

Subject: [windows2000] 2003 Active Directory, Blank Passwords


Trying to setup Group Policies to allow a certain group of users the 
ability to have blank passwords. However, the only way I can get blank 
passwords to be allowed is to apply the GPO to the "authenticated users" 
group. I don't want everyone to have blank passwords, just the users of a 
specific group that are in a specific OU.

What is the correct method for doing this? Should I be linking the GPO to 
the OU or should I be using security permissions at the domain level?

Thanks for any help,
