Password policy is enforced when a password is changed, not at logon. So existing passwords which do not meet password policy will continue to work. It would be nice to have an option to re-check passwords at logon and force a change if non-complaint with current policy, but that doesn't exist, AFAIK. -- Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
