Please offer assistance on a registry mod for complex and 180 day PW
expirations-http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555540
The way it is coded it doesd not seem to work.
I entered the registry mod exactly as documented at
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555540
Setup strong password policy in Windows XP
And I got this
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\policies\Network]
"MinPwdLen"=hex:80
"AlphanumPwds"=dword:00000001
"MaxPasswordAge"=hex:18,00
"PasswordExpiryWarning"=dword:00000000
But it does not require 8characters nor alphanumerics. It basically
still allows what the local policy has defined.
And before someone asks why I just dont use the local policy (or GPO),
I am looking to distribute this to several hundred workstations which
are connected basically by e-mail only. A registry mod would allow
each user to receive, save and apply this in the least painfull way.
Please offer any suggestions.
