RE: [ActiveDir] Seperate Administrator password policy

[Bahta, Nathaniel V CTR USAF NASIC/SCNA]

I thought about that, but that does not prohibit you from setting a password less than 15 characters.  I thought about setting it up to run on a changenotify event and then if the length was less than 15, disable the account, but I think that is a bit harsh.  I dont know of a way of stopping the setting of a password less than 15 characters without a actual subdomain.  That PPE looks like it would do the trick, but I dont think we are being given third party tools to implement this security measure.   Nate From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Za Vue Sent: Thursday, August 31, 2006 8:39 AM To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: Re: [ActiveDir] Seperate Administrator password policy Would it be easier just to ask them to use 15 characters?  Run a small script to check on the numbers of characters after the passwords have been changed. If under 15 than ask them to change it again. -Z.V.
