If the Relax minimum password length limits setting is defined and disabled, this setting may be configured from 0 to 14.

If the Relax minimum password length limits setting is defined and enabled, this setting may be configured from 0 to 128.

Setting the required number of characters to 0 means that no password is required.

Note By default, member computers follow the configuration of their domain controllers.

Default values:

  • 7 on domain controllers

  • 0 on stand-alone servers

Configuring this setting larger than 14 may affect compatibility with clients, services, and applications. We recommend that you only configure this setting larger than 14 after you use the Minimum password length audit setting to test for potential incompatibilities at the new setting.
