is there a way to set password policies in a GPO's user configuration?
I only see them in computer configuration - 
or should I create a GPO for just the password policies?

some background...we have ricoh scanners and these scanners do not accept a special character in the password field. our company policy requires a special character in the password so we need to exclude the accounts used for the ricoh scanners

Filter using by OU using WMI. In your case, you would deny the specific WMI filter for that OU.

This might be a little easier....

This is the way I would do it if there isnt a SG you can filter by

great reference site for a whole host of questions!

@Brains Agree. I much rather manage SG memberships for GPO, than OU placement. Less clutter, less margin of error, easier access and oversight. I also understand that people often inherit their AD schema from predecessors and can't afford the time and risk for a complete redesign.
