Security Policy

This question will sound somewhat weird. I work for a Government contract and when it comes to Security Policies, they make it complicated for the Administrators. Besides implementing Microsoft Policies, we are also implementing security policies from another government software. Here is something that I never heard is there a way in Microsoft Polices where you can prevent users from Using Dictionary words for their password. Or you do this by writing a script?any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Willi
