Ryan,
My understanding is that the only way to do this is to hook into the
password filter DLL. This is a Win32 DLL that the DC calls whenever a user
or administrator initiates a password change, whose job is to verify the
quality of the new password.
The DLL is your own code, so it can do whatever you want.
Some products, including ours, are available to hook into this DLL for
basically two purposes:
1) Enforce a stronger password quality ruleset than is possible with
WinNT/Win2000/Win2003 natively.
2) Capture the new password, and automatically synchronize it with other
passwords the user has elsewhere (e.g., on other domains, other
kinds of systems, etc.).
I hope this helps!
Best regards,
