Subject: [windows2000] Complex passwords


Hello again..
 
We are looking to implement complex passwords......I understand that the
passwords can be combinations of upper/lowercase/alpha-numeric/symbols but
what are the minimum requirements. Does the password need to contain at
least one symbol? One number? Etc....
 
Thanks
