Installing an legacy piece of software and during the install, it creates sql accounts that it uses itself, i'm getting an error message saying "password does not meet required length" from the installer log

So i need to change the min length to '1', upon going into gpedit, it has a 'lock' on the password section and is greyed out

Logged in on the domain controller as admin.
What to do?

No silly answers please
 
the only time i've really used gpedit before is for locking down xp pro machines, i'm just typing in gpedit.msc on the domain controller and going from there

will look into what you said,
cheers
 
on the other pc's the change would be reflected in the screen above yes? (if i gpedit.msc'd from the other pc's)
 
well i've followed what mr lol has said, and it's still on '7' when i log into the machine, it's also a windows2003r2 box if that makes any difference

i set it to 0 in the Domain Security Policy, did gpupdate etc

was last week i made the changes, just checked the machine i want it to enforce it on, and it's on 7 still

any ideas mate? :)
