To assess why Active Directory passwords may not be meeting complexity requirements,
consider the following steps:

1. Check the active directory settings: Review settings related to password history, minimum password length, complexity requirements, password expiration, etc.
2. Verify password reset policies are enforced: Ensure that users must maintain their passwords within the policy, and that the system notifies them before password expiration.
3. Review password incidents: Identify and investigate any compromised passwords, unusual password reset requests, and repeat password resets.
4. Identify users with weak passwords: Analyze users, accounts, or machines with weak passwords to ensure they’re meeting complexity requirements.
