In order to meet the complexity requirements you must use upper and
lowercase characters and numbers, e.g. Pa55w0rd, l3tM31n, etc.

if password complexity is set on, then a new password must have three of the
follwoing four types of character;
Upper case
Lower case
Numeric
Special (!"£$ etc)
Therefore characters of the same case with a number added would not suffice.
e.g.
password1 not valid (lower case, numeric)
Password1 valid (upper case, lower case, numeric)
I think 8 is the default default domain policy password length so it should
be ok if it hasn't been changed.

When you configure Windows2003 server as Domain Controller, Windows
configures and enables default security settings for the domai and domain
controller. These security settings include complex password requirements,
longer passwords and histories to make it more secure. Default passworrd
policy is configured as following:
mininum password length:8 chars
password complexity: should include atleast 1 char, number , small n caps
letter. If you meet the requirements above, the password will work else you
will be asked to reneter the password. for example, following password
fulfils all complexity requirements: Password1
Remember to include atleast 1 small, 1 caps letter, 1 number.
