Thanks for the info Josh. I checked and there's only these options under 
Security Settings / Account Policies / Password Policy:

* Enforce password history
* Maximum password age
* Minimum password age
* Minimum password length
* Password must meet complexity requirements
* Store password using reversible encryption for all users in the domain

But there's nowhere any option that allows to change the other 
complexity requirements that appear in the message box (i.e. contains at 
least three of the following four character groups...)
Also, changes in the above mentioned settings are not reflected in the 
message box!

Does anyone know how to change the contents of this dialog box ?

Thanks,
