Password policy requires complexity even though disabled in Group policy

Copper Contributor

We recently build new environment with Windows 2019 STD and migrated all users from old domain. I wanted to exclude password complexity for particular OU, so i created a separate policy and linked with that OU. After apply this policy, i was unable to change the password for AD users in that OU, getting error "Password does not meet password policy requirements". 

 

I was suspecting the Domain controller policy overriding, since i am changing password from one of the DC. So i removed password policy restriction from Domain controller group policy but not working.

 

My OU and Domain controller policy modified as below,

 

Enforce password history                  - 0 password remembered

Maximum password age                   - 0

Minimum password age                   - 0

Minimum password length               - 8 Characters

Password must meet complexity

requirements                                     - Disabled

Store password using reversible

encryption                                          - Disabled

 

Please suggest solution.

I have this exact same issue but with the clients. It's very aggravating. What am I missing?!?!
