Policy option not appearing on DC

[Ian Boyd]

i am logged onto the domain controller itself.

i'm looking under "Security Settings/Local Policies/Security Options" for
either of the group policy settings:

"Do not store LAN Manager hash value on next password change", or
"Network security: Do not store LAN Manager hash value on next password
change"


Yet neither appear. MS KB's, web articles, and newsgroups say it should be
there.

Screenshot; just cause i know you don't believe me - or have any clue how to
fix it.

Hi Ian

Referring to

299656 How to prevent Windows from storing a LAN manager hash of your
password

It mentions that on Windows 2000, you need to edit the registry instead of
using policy.

It mentions that on Windows 2000, you need to edit the registry instead of

using policy.

i read (past tense) it as: i have to use the group policy editor OF Windows
XP or 2003.

It has been clarified to me.
