Answer 1

Hi,

 

Please provide me more detailed information connected to your current Default Domain Policy > Password Policy configuration settings.

 

·         Enforce password history: (typically =0)

 

·         Maximum password age: (typically =0)

 

·         Minimum password age: (typically =0)

 

·         Minimum password length: (typically =7)

 

·         Password must meet complexity requirements: (typically =Disabled)

 

·         Store passwords using reversible encryption: (typically =Disabled)

 

Please read this article http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb684904.aspx  (Configuring the Change Password Feature in Outlook Web App).

 

Let me know about the results.

 

Thanks.

Answer 6

This is a tricky little thing.

It is not enough to simply set a the values to 0. You must set them to a value then gpupdate and then to 0 and update.

Otherwise the original values will not be overwritten.

 

all the best
