Hi Herb,

Are you trying to tell me that this is not possible ?I am not bothered at
security as it is just a private isolated test setup , wich is tested with
10 to 15 users

Thanks
Dinesh

Have you tried Minimum Password length of 0?

And of course I hope you know there is NO practical value
in such -- it is a terrible thing to do to a poor domain or
its machines

Hi Herb,

password.Thanks for your comments on the Mac too.

Best regards

Hi

I setup the AD in 2003 Server and is running it in a Test environment.
Everytime I create a new user,I have to try different passwords due to
the
secure policy, set by W2K3 by default. I just tried to get rid of it by
changing the Domain Security policy. But still I face the same
problem.I
found a document that said to run secedit /refreshpolicy, but I get
unknown
parameter sort of error.

Please advise me the right steps to set the Domain accept blank
passwords
too.As it is for a test enviroment, security is not a concern, we just
need
to test and implement Exch 2007 later the Quarter.We are studying the
features and compatibility with various OS like Mac, as we also have a
few
MAC users and PDA users too.

As I recall, Mac users must use a password that is stored in "reversible
encryption" format -- set on the users properties (e.g., when the
account
is created or subsequently changed in the General tab.)

See my first post about checking your (likely hosed up) DNS server or
settings.

Thanks in advance for all your helps

Best regards
Dinesh
