Unable to update the password. The value provided for the new password does not meet the length, complexity, or history requirements of the domain

Although I change the minimum password age in the password policy but I still had to change the minimum password age to 0:00:00 in the ADSI Editor for the DC i'm in.

@JimB and @Craig620, your help is greatly appreciated.


Domain controllers ignore password, lockout, or Kerberos policy settings defined at an organizational unit, such as the Domain Controllers OU.

You should define legacy password policies in the Default Domain Policy or another top-level GPO.

As a test I created password policy settings in both the Default Domain Policy and Default Domain Controllers Policy. See the Winning GPO:
