Dear Colleagues:

With Windows NT networks (and I believe 2000 as well), I was unable to set
up a stronger password policy for certain groups.

My desired result is to put a stronger password policy on one group, but a
weaker one on another. Specifically, password complexity rules.

Is this possible with Windows 2003 active directory enabled networks and
those that have 2000 servers in the mix?

Thanks,

CC

That has not changed for Windows 2003. If you have a need for different
password policy for a group domain users, then you need another domain. If
you have a particular group that needs higher security you may want to look
into smart cards for that group of users and configure their user accounts
to require smart card logon. --- Steve

The other alternative is writing or purchasing an alternative
password filter.

Sort of what I was wondering about you, especially considering
the many time-zones between !!! I suppose you are calling it
morning while I am calling it late night 🙂
I've been up with some freelance stuff.

Thanks Roger, its appreciated.

I am sorry, but what do you mean by an alternative password filter? I dont
know what that is.
