Password Reversible Encryption

Question

Hi All,
1. How the  reversible encryption Policy
Works ??
If i enable the policy where the Password will save ?? (Location). I need my last 13 Passwords should save in a Location.
2. Password Must Contain Upper and Lower case all over Domain.
In my org they want to set Password Complexity, They must need Upper and Lower case in Password. As per default complexity 4 condition are there
Contain characters from
three of the following four categories:
English uppercase characters (A through Z)
English lowercase characters (a through z)
Base 10 digits (0 through 9)
Non-alphabetic characters (for example, !, $, #, %)
In that case Abc123 also work and
abc@123 also work. But I need every password should Contain Upper and Lower case. How to achieve this ??
Many thanks in advance :)

A helpful article with further links for reading on this topic is here:

Note that although Group Policy is used for enabling password policy settings, the way the settings really work, is actually a feature/behaviour of Windows and Directory Services. As such, you may also find further help/experience in the winserverDS forum.
