Scott, that's not going to work for the domain mode you have - at least not with native means. All domain functional levels prior to Server 2008 have one Password Policy per domain - there's no built-in way to separate policies for OUs. In domain functional level 2008 (2008 DCs only) you have fine-grained Password Policies at least. So you'd need to look for a third party tool. You next "problem" might be that there's only rare mac support for Passpolicies (at least what I've seen yet). Cheers, Florian _____ Von: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Im Auftrag von Bean, Scott Gesendet: Dienstag, 17. Februar 2009 15:35 An: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Betreff: [gptalk] Password Policy Scenario: Active Directory running in Windows 2003 Native Mode. Client machines are a combo of Mac and Windows. For sake of simplicity I have to user groups - Teachers and Students. What I need to accomplish is for the teachers (on mac and windows) to have a strict password policy. But not the students (students also need the ability to change their passwords). Again for simplicity sake, I have two OUs. One for students with users and computers under it. And one for teachers with users and computers under it. I have applied a password policy under the teacher OU and it works for windows. I am assuming it will not work for Mac since it is a computer policy. Also if a teacher logs onto a student machine they wont get that policy. Is there a way to make this scenario work? Ie Teachers on any machine(windows or mac) having the password policy I created? Thanks, Scott
