Re: 3rd party AD password policy tool

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

linking GPOs with password policy configuration will not work on OUs...
within AD you can only define ONE password policy and that MUST be linked to
the domain.


about a third party tool...

you may wanna have a look at "Password Policy Enforcer" from Anixis
