The Password BBP allows you to use the maximum complexity settings in the
GPO as long as you use the maximum password length required by AR 25-2/BBP
is used and you require password changes not more than every 90 days (the
minimum allowed by AR 25-2).
I don't think a support contract with Microsoft will get you the
passfilt.dll you need, because it is not something you can just pick out of
a catalog (no money in that). NSA had a CD a few years ago that had a
passfilt.dll that had a minimum password length of 12 characters and
required characters from all four fields. The only CD I can find at the
moment is the one that has the 8 character version of the DLL. If I find
the other one I will let you know.
Have a nice day,
