Password length in Group Policy

[DLAS]

Hi all,

 

Just a quick question concerning a Terminal Server running 2008 R2 -

 

If I use Group Policy to change the password minimum length to a different value, will the change take place immediately for the user? I.e. The next time they log on they're prompted to change their password.

 

...or will it come about on the next password expiry as normal?

 

 

Thanks

It'll apply the next time they change (or are forced to change) the password.

 

(So warn them in plenty of time to reduce bafflement)

Brilliant, thanks!

 

I may force change them through AD afterwards, get the pain out of the way!
