Password/Account Group Policy Help
Hello,
I've seen that Password/account policies for domain users must be set to domain level, but I have a problem I have to test and deploy this policy before so I don’t mess the whole network up. What are good ways to test this? My 2 choices were set it up in a virtual environment using Microsoft virtual pc, but then not sure how to match it to our real A.D environment and network. Or second option was create an entire test forest and test domain, but I’m hesitant with the 2nd option because I don’t want it to mess up the network or our current A.D environment again. Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thank you,

2003 domain? Only asking given your name and the sig at the bottom of the message (2008 allows for multiple password policies). -

In that case, I would suggest building a test forest/domain (1 DC is sufficient) and configuring it in there. This can be done in a VM so no additional hardware is required.
