I did not encounter any errors when setting up these accounts. However, the accounts lock when trying to use these accounts to make connections against the databases. When I unlock the SQL account and hit ok, I get the following error: Password validation failed. The password does not meet Windows policy requirements because it is not complex enough. (Microsoft SQL the password does Server, Error: 15118) In Active Directory Group Policy our password policy is set as follows: Enforce password history: 10 passwords remembered Maximum password age: 90 days Minimum password age: 7 days Minimum password length: 8 characters Password must meet complexity requirements: Enabled Store password using reversible encrption for all users on the domain: Disabled The same settings are in place on the SQL server's local security settings. For one SQL account I created, the password was 9 characters long, and contained symbols, numbers, and lower-case letters. The other account was 10 characters long, and contained upper-case letters, lower-case letters, and numbers. Both passwords meet the password policy defined, and meet Microsoft's password complexity rules. Can someone explain what I might be doing wrong, or what I'm missing? Thanks 0 Question by:joshsfinn Facebook Twitter LinkedIn Google Best Solution byjoshsfinn Ended up opening a case with Microsoft. This is a bug with SP2, and is supposed to be fixed in SP3. The "password complexity" error only occurs once an account gets locked.
