  No, this can not be done via group policy settings.

  Personally, I had never heard about such script or third party software.

  For more information, post in "The Official Scripting Guys Forum!":

  Hi,

   Here are a couple of third party products that can do the trick: 

  http://nfrontsecurity.com/products/nfront-password-filter/

  http://anixis.com/products/ppe/password_policy_rules.htm

   

  Note that this doesn't serve as an endorsement of these products, these are tools I've used in the past successfully.

   

  You can also create your own by create a passfilt.dll which is the password filter used by AD. This is a development exercise and should only be attempted if you have access to developers comfortable with writing a security DLL. Here are some links to get you started:

  Thanks,
