Re: Interesting Password Behaviour

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance



Honestly, it has been quite a while since I played with policy on a 2K domain, it could be that there was a bug in that on 2K or it wasn't supported, I don't recall. If I were to look at this, I would build a free 2K only domain and patch it to the latest rev and verify

a) that the policy is there
b) whether it works or not

If it is there and it doesn't work, then I would consider bugging it with MSFT but most likely not as 2K is now N-2 (R2 is N) and will probably be N-3 within the next year which means the chance of a non-critical bug being corrected is almost nil.

Hi Joe..

Yes I worked out that the LM hash would be needed - but based on the
Network Security: Do not store LAN Manager..... being enabled I would
have expected that Win2000 DCs also wouldnt store a hashed passsword..

Based on my testing all the Win2000 DCs are setting passwords that the
DOS client can authenticate with - which is contary to the policy
setting..

Has anyone else come across this behaviour ??
