Re: Computer Account Password Options

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



Hi Austin

I am aware that I have no access to it. What we are looking at is
using PEAP-MS-CHAP V2 for wireless authenication, and although we have
a password policy in place (using standard windows AD features) it
still allows as user to have a non secure password, such as P@ssw0rd.
Therefore we were going to us Computer only authentication for the
wireless network - however that makes the wireless network security as
is as good as the Computer password - hence the question, trying to
find how complex the Computer Passwords are etc.

Thanks
David

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.

more info on msdn.
