We have a password policy requiring passwords of 14 characters or more. They don't have to be complex

The cluster validation wizard complains that it can't run the CSV storage tests

Failure while setting up to run Cluster Shared Volumes support testing on node NODE1.DOMAIN.COM: The password does not meet the password policy requirements. Check the minimum password length, password complexity and password history requirements.

MS could do with updating the wizard to use more secure passwords. Can anyone pass on to the product team?

"MS could do with updating the wizard to use more secure passwords." But remember that you are asking them to use a different definition for complexity, not necessarily a more secure password.
