windows cannot set the password for 'user' the password does not meet the password poiicy requirements. check the minmum password length, passowrd complexity and passowrd histroy requirments .
but there are no password policys set in the group, or domain security policys.

You have a setting in group policy that is stopping you. Make sure you check the policies. I know you said there are no policies, but obviously there are. Set everything back to not remembering previous passwords, password complexity and all that. Also remember since it is a domain controller that checks this, be sure to look at the Group Policy settings in the Default Domain Control OU. That is the setting that will apply. It will take awhile for the policy to apply after you change it too.
That is where your problem lies. I know it can be frustrating but be sure you check the default domain controller OU. I'm guessing you may have missed it there.
