Changing password complexity requirements.


if to  change "password must meet complexity requirements" in our company domain "disabled" "enabled", is enforced automatically (immediately) users (and or more importantly service accounts) change password meet new complexity rule, or upon next password change - whenever cycle , forced change (or on manual basis exempted cycle)? not sure on 1 i've never changed 1 parameter mid-stream before. think it's later, want sure! thanks!

it applies changed passwords or newly created passwords.
