How to set the policy 'Password must meet complexity requirements'?   

Hi,

does anybody know how the above policy can be set? WMI, script,
programmatically? I'm looking for an unattended solution of the
problem.

Thanks in advance.

Best regards,
Andreas

I don't know all the specifics, but the MSDN article
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa375062.aspx looks like it
covers the WMI class you'll need for complexity settings.

I am sorry to tell you but in many books I have read and in the WMI 
documentation, there are many ways to report on and read the configuration 
of GPO setting. But there is no way to actually set GPO settings like 
Password Policies or removing items from the start menu, etc; 
programmatically.

Thanks,
Allan
