Solution

To enforce a strict password policy for all user accounts in your Windows domain using GPOs, you should navigate to the "Account Policies" section in GPO. Here are the steps:

  1. Open the Group Policy Management Console. You can do this by typing "gpmc.msc" into the Run dialog box (Win + R).

  2. In the console tree, navigate to the domain or organizational unit (OU) for which you want to set the password policy.

  3. Right-click the domain or OU and select "Create a GPO in this domain, and Link it here..."

  4. Give the new GPO a name, then right-click it and select "Edit".

  5. In the Group Policy Management Editor, navigate to "Computer Configuration" > "Policies" > "Windows Settings" > "Security Settings" > "Account Policies" > "Password Policy".

  6. Here, you can configure the settings for the password policy, such as "Enforce password history", "Maximum password age", "Minimum password age", "Minimum password length", "Password must meet complexity requirements", and "Store passwords using reversible encryption".

  7. Once you've configured the settings to your liking, close the Group Policy Management Editor.

  8. Back in the Group Policy Management Console, right-click the domain or OU and select "Link an Existing GPO". Select the GPO you just created and edited.

  9. The new password policy will now be enforced for all user accounts in the domain or OU.
