Same implementation only done locally instead of on the DC. The password
change requests go to LSA, LSA knows if a filter is registered in
HKLM/System/CCS/Control/LSA/ Notification Packages and if one is, it
passes the change through the filter before it gets to the SAM. The
registration still goes in the same place in the local registry as it
does on a DC.

  Hmmm.  Interesting.  So the complexity checking done by clients for
local (SAM) accounts must come from somewhere else.  Two different
implementations, I guess.
