Re: Computer Account Password Options

Hi David,
The computer account password is a system generated password which you have
no access to.
You can reset, prevent it's resetting and that's about it.
See: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/154501 and I'm sure you'll find some
more info on msdn.

Regards,

Austin

Hello

Does anyone have any information on the Active Directory Computer
Account Password. I am looking for something that outlines the
complexity of this password (ie length, characters used etc)\


If it makes any difference, the clients are primarily Windows XP SP2,
and AD is Windows 2003 Native Mode.


Cheers
David
