Server 2008 Fine-Grained Password Policy Tool

With Server 2008, you can now apply password policies at layers lower than "the domain". These "fine-grained password policies" allow you to apply different restrictions for password and account lockout policies for different users in a domain.

Christoffer Andersson announced on his blog that Beta 1 of his Fine Grained Password Policy Tool is now available for testing...

This tool extends the capabilities of the GPMC and adds some PowerShell scripting capabilities for easy administration of these new policies.

You can check out the tool at:
