Currently our network is Windows based with our servers being 2003. In
the past, our K-3 students have had accounts, but no passwords. I had
staff and grades 4-8 set a password of 5 chars and just didn't tell them
that it would accept blank passwords. I had to do it this way since
2003 server won't allow more than one password policy per domain. I am
now being instructed to put strong password policies on the staff
accounts. In order to do this, it would mean that all our students,
including K-3 students, will have to somehow learn an 8 char password
with 3 of 4 letters, numbers, caps, symbols, and then change it every 60
days without repeating the same password 6 times. I just can't fathom
how a K-3 student will be able to do this on their own. If you have a
2003 environment, how do you handle the younger students passwords? Is
there a way to somehow make a 2003 domain accept more than one password
policy?
