Granular Password Policies
One of the new features of Active Directory in Server 2008 was the ability to create a granular password policy. Prior to this, password policies could only be applied at the domain level. This meant that if you needed to have multiple enforceable password policies, you were required to have multiple domains – one for each password policy that was required. With the addition of granular password policies, you can create several different policies and apply them to individual users or groups. This allows a lot more flexibility for administrators.
