Group Policy grayed out

Hi Matte,

When you create an AWS Managed Microsoft AD directory, a default domain policy is created and applied to the directory.

To enforce custom password policies, you can use Fine-Grained Password Policies. They allow you to define additional password policies for groups of users you manage in your AWS Managed Microsoft AD domain.

You can learn more about that here: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/directoryservice/latest/admin-guide/ms_ad_password_policies.html

To configure the policies, you can use standard Microsoft policy tools such as Active Directory Administrative Center: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/identity/ad-ds/get-started/adac/active-directory-administrative-center

To get started with the Microsoft policy tools, see Installing the Active Directory administration tools: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/directoryservice/latest/admin-guide/ms_ad_install_ad_tools.html

Sharing also some information on how to assign password policies to your users: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/directoryservice/latest/admin-guide/supportedpolicysettings.html

I hope this helps!
