Any Win2k3 DC servers, or WinXP workstations? If so, try running GPResult (on Win2k3) or use the Group Policy Management Console to generate a RSOP (resultant set of Policies) report and see where the settings are coming from...

The password policy got changed in the default domain GPO. This was not supposed to happen and the changes have been reversed due to problems with some clients and 3rd party software. However - even with forcing replication and forcing gpupdate on the clients, numerous reboots - the settings still apply to the clients. Any idea what is holding on to the wrong GPO settings and how that can be cleared out? Windows 2000 AD Domain - mixed mode.
