All user accounts are located in an organizational unit (OU) named CompanyUsers. A written company policy requires all users to use strong passwords. User passwords must contain a mixture of letters, numbers, or special characters. Passwords must be at least 10 characters long. Passwords must be changed at least every 60 days, and the new password cannot be the same as the old one. To enforce this requirement, you create a Group Policy object (GPO) named Password Policies and link the GPO to the CompanyUsers OU. The settings in the Password Policy section of the Password Policies GPO are shown in the exhibit. (Click the Exhibit button.) You discover that users are creating simple passwords that do not meet the complexity requirements. You need to ensure that the company password requirements are enforced. What should you do?
