RE: [ActiveDir] Strange password issue

[Passo, Larry]

If the Domain Controllers OU is set to block GPO inheritance, and the domain GPO that sets the password policy isn't set for No Override, then the domain policies might not get set properly.

err, actually the password policy is stored in the machine portion of the GPO and thus applies to all machines and therefore all local user objects too.

Impossible/irrelevant. If it's a domain account, the policy applies regardless, because the account is stored in AD. If it's a local account, then the policy doesn't apply regardless; domain account policies don't apply to local accounts. Is this a local account or a domain account?

If you mean before the policy was set up, then, no.

This policy has been in effect for a couple of years and the account was created a month ago..

 

Maybe the PC is not getting the Default Domain Policy?

Tom,

 

This is just a stab in the dark but is it possible that this user's password was set prior to the Default Domain Policy being in effect?

I'm having this weird  issue where I have a user account who is able to log in with a blank password.

The Default Domain Policy is set to a min password length of 6 characters.

The userAccountControl on the user is set to 512.

 

The Domain is at win2k3 DFL and FFL.

 

Is there any other way besides a migration tool like Quest that could circumvent this policy and allow blank passwords?

 

Thanks
