I work in a regulated industry where the default password complexity =
requirements provided with Windows don't meet our regulatory =
requirements.  I've been using Anixis Password Policy Enforcer for =
several years to build complex password requirements on Windows Active =
Directory domains, and it includes excluding dictionary lists.

Limiting factor:  It doesn't work for local accounts or stand-alone =
systems, only AD domain accounts.


Thank you,

Hi all,
I'd like to know how to prevent users from use specifics words in their =

change their password every 45 days, but some users use some words =
related to the company or the business, there's a way to prevent this in =
Windows Server 2003? Some kind of dictionary for words that can't be =
use?

Thank you and best regards,
