Hi,
We have a single domain AD using 2003 and 2012 R2 DCs. We'd like to change our AD password policy from it's current state:
6 characters
90 days max age
No complexity
To:
8 characters
180 days
complexity
The question I have is will the settings kick in immediately or only upon password change or expiry? I just want to make sure I've assessed the user impact correctly. Any official statements from Microsoft would greatly help.
Thanks
