Hello Satheshwaran,
I have disabled the password complexity in AD, however when i try to change the password from OWA still asks to set complex password.
Thanks in advance
Run gpupdate /force on exchange servers. or it may take time to apply automaticallly
I I have disabled the password complexity in AD also run gpupdate /force but OWA still ask to set complex password.

hii satheshwaran ji
i am facing some what similar problem in exchange 2013.i selected “require password change on next logon” for newly created or added users.but while login on owa, it is prompting to change password but it is not happening.getting error like “the username or password you entered is not correct…”,
after login using old password and tried to change password then getting the minimum password requirement error even i disabled the settings in GROUP POLICY as u mentioned…can please look into this
gpupdate /force on all relevant machines
SAME. I am setting up a TEST DC in our lab with 2008R2 and Exchange 2013 to replace a 2003 SBS server.
I have changed the GROUP POLICY for the entire Domain to not require complex passwords. EXCHANGE 2013 is running on the same server as the DC (one computer – as it is just used as a lab domain controller).
I then did the gpupdate /force and even RUN AS ADMIN.
Logged in as myself to the OWA site, and went to change password.
I am getting YOUR PASSWORD DOES NOT MEET COMPLEXITY REQUIREMENTS.
WHAT GIVES? How do I disable this, so that when I setup a new user for the domain, they can change their PW from within OWA?
Thanks
check domain controller policy. Password complexity entry
