Two  spots above where you have highlighted, right-click Default Domain Policy and click Edit.

Hey Bill-thank you.  So how do I edit the default domain GPO and not an OU within the domain?  This is what I see:

No problem.  Either edit the Default Domain GPO and change the settings under Windows Settings>Security Settings>Account Policies/Password Policy, or add a GPO that does the same thing.  You have to set this at the Domain level not in an OU within the domain.  That is a limitation of Win2k3.

Thank you.  Still trying to figure out how to set the password policy in Windows Server 2003 if anyone knows...

I know this might not apply to you specifically, but with anyone using Windows Server 2008 you can take advantage of Password Settings Objects (PSO). You apply them to AD groups and users instead of OU's with GPO's.

I'm sure this is easy for some of you, but I have never had to change the password policy and I need to.  We are running with one Primary Domain Controller, running Windows 2000 Server.
