Account/Password Policy Using GPO Not Working

[Guest Josh Graves]

Hello All,

 

I have a Windows 2003 AD based domain with primary and backup domain

controllers. Client workstations are 95% Windows XP, 4% Mac, and 1%

Windows 2000.

 

I modified the default domain policy to set password minimum

requirements and expiration as well as account lock-outs. However,

these policies are not taking effect on any workstation (I understand

the Macs are pretty much out of the picture for this). I have done

this before on other domains successfully.

 

Other existing group policy objects are working fine, both within the

default domain policy and other add-on policies for proxy servers,

WSUS, etc.

 

When I review the RSoP, I receive an error within the Security section

of the Component Status stating, "Security failed due to the error

listed below and failed to log the resultant set of policy

information." However, there is no "error listed below"

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
