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
