Hi Bonno, Yes, we (Ipswitch) use the Windows rules as well and true, case sensitive "Yes" should be the default.
It's a little confusing at first when transitioning lots of existing users (100's or 1000's of users) but making some of the requirements option provides more flexibility for admins.

So if there are any defaults for the 7 items above, 6 should default to yes.
