The Enforce password history setting should be configured correctly.
This policy setting determines the number of renewed, unique passwords that have to be associated with a user account before you can reuse an old password. The value for this policy setting must be between 0 and 24 passwords. The default value for Windows Vista is 0 passwords, but the default setting in a domain is 24 passwords. To maintain the effectiveness of this policy setting, use the Minimum password age setting to prevent users from repeatedly changing their password.
Fix:
(1) GPO: Computer Configuration/Windows Settings/Security Settings/Account Policies/Password Policy (Settings included in Domain Policies)
(2) REG: NO INFO
