Password policy is set in Group Policy Objects, which Splunk does not monitor. You may, however, be able to write a script that collects this information.

Dear Richgalloway,

Thank you to response; if you have this script please share the script with me.

I do not have such a script, but it should be easy to create one in PowerShell.
