Custom password filters can still be built for Windows 2000/2003 and the
link below may help though I have never tried such myself.

Otherwise consider strengthening your passwords by increasing the minimum
length and also and train users to think "pass phrases" instead of
passwords. When users are trained to use pass phrases they can more easily
remember long passwords that will be very strong with default password
complexity enabled. See the link below for advantages of using pass
phrases. --- Steve
