WS 2019 GPO Minimum Password policy requires greater than 15 characters based on corp policy. GP does not allow for the policy characters to be above 14. Server is on latest build 1809 v 17763.1.amd64fre.rs5_release.180914-1434. There is also no policy entry for "Relax minimum password length limits" Therefore, that cannot be enabled. Why are so many people having issues with trying to maintain simple settings? What is an alternative?

    Microsoft will never make an OS that works. Use CentOS
