Server 2003 will only let me set the min password length to 14 caracters.

 

How do I increase it to 20?

 

thanks

Peter

When on a domain, you need to edit the Default Domain Policy or yet

better create a new policy on domain level. "dsa.msc" -> right-click

domain -> Properties -> Group Policy.

 

If its a stand-alone server, use gpedit.msc for that.

it still only allows me to choose between 1 and 14. I would like it to be 20
