This is a domain account.

 

To rehash-

 

The Default Domain Policy is set to min password length- 6 charcters.

This was created 2 years ago and never changed.

User account is a domain account created a month ago.

It was bought to my attention that the user can log in with no password.

I confirmed.

The userAccountControl attribute of the user object was set to 512(not that i'm certain if setting the passwd_notreqd overrides the DDP).

The domain/forest is at w2k3 FL.

 

Thanks

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
