How to fully remove domain password policy from on-prem AD

Hi @Claire_,

thanks for the update. You did everything right.

To ensure that the password policy is applied to the Active Directory domain controllers, you need to apply the policy directly to the OU where the domain controllers are located. Modifying the Default Domain Policy, which is linked at the root of the domain, may not have the desired effect if inheritance is blocked on the Domain Controllers OU. Make sure to target the policy specifically to the Domain Controllers OU to control the password policy for the Active Directory.
