creating password policies

[Guest YoJa]

I want to change the password requirements for my users. I can change the

group policy but I thought there was another place to change it were you had

more options. I want my users to have a safer, secure password but don't

want the level of restirctions offered in the group policy. Is there another

way to restrict the password?

Not without implementing a 3rd party password filter, no.

How do you define "safe" and "secure"?

Which version of Server are you using.

You should have the options for password complexity within your GPO, which

defines 3 of 4 critirea must be met and the password must be at least 6

characters long.

If you need more than this then I agree with Paul.
