Re: UF_PASSWD_NOTREQD Flag Set in DC's userAccountControl

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

IFG,

I do not know of any software that would require this. Furthermore, I would
be very suspicions of any that did!

I would set up a lab environment and play with this before doing so in a
production environment. You do have six Domain Controllers (I am going to
assume that there are multiple Sites involved....). While there should be
no issues with doing this I must say that I have never done this (set to
0x82020 and then switched it to 0x82020). I would hate to find out the hard
way...

DCDIAG reveals that someone set the userAccountControl on 1 of my 6 DCs to
0x82020 instead of leaving it at 0x82000. This sets the UF_PASSWD_NOTREQD
flag.

I just inherited this domain and see no reason not to set the
userAccountControl back to 0x82000. I see nothing special running on this
DC. Does anyone know any reason not to set it back?

Does anyone know of any 3rd party software that requires the
UF_PASSWD_NOTREQD flag?

Thanks.
