        Domain accounts get their policy settings from the domain
controllers so you won't be able to do this on the OU level.

        I don't think so.  You can implement it a the OU level.

on default domain policy

                Hello,
                We are looking at strengthening our password policy.  I
have been told that the minimum password length policy can only be set
at the default domain policy.  Is this true?  The reason I ask is that
our helpdesk is slimly staffed and users already have problems with 5
char password lengths.  We are looking at making it a 14 char minimum,
but would like to roll that out in smaller groups so we don't get
swamped.  Any insights or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. 
                Thanks
                Leon
