    Hi @skak

    Through GPO you can apply only one poicy for all domain users through the GPO Default domain Policy . In another hand You can create many Passowrd Policy using FGPP Fine Grained Password Policy and apply them on specific users or AD group.

    You can create a policy for each kind of account : VIP , service accounts , admins ..ect To get more details about FGPP I invite your to read the following links: AD DS: Fine-Grained Password Policies Fine-Grained Password Policy in Active Directory
