In Windows Server 2008, you can use fine-grained password policies to specify multiple password policies and apply different password restrictions and account lockout policies to different sets of users within a single domain. Password polices are designed to control what kind of password a user can have and how often the user needs to change it. Strong password policies are important to help protect your system and data.
