Hi, i'm new to the win2k3 server and it's been real ugly for me. Anyways i enabled active directory and dhcp and dns and wanted created a server locally (biz.local as the dns name). Now whenever i try to create user by going into the active directory managment control interface, clicking on biz.local then to users, right click, new, user and creating the user name and login name, and the password, it pops a error message saying "windows cannot create object (nameofperson) because : Unable to update password, The value provided does not meet the length, complexity or history requirement of the domain." What's going on? since this is a fresh install and i am the admin logged in, it doesn't let me create a user even though i never made any criteria or length.
any help will be appreciated, thanks

You will need to edit your policies to allow less complex passwords and set your password length. After that, you will be able to create passwords even if they are easy.
