Belarc advisor Ver 7.0T suggested that some specific
changes to security policy at Password (length, minage,
complexity) be done in order to best avoid remote access by
'brute force attacks'. When carried out, the user cannot
change already issued password on the local pc. The system
says the password does not meet complexity guidelines when
it does.
The old on did not, however, which is why I wanted to
change it. The library or parm file needs to be revised so
the change will ignore the old password under the new
policy, and allow the new password to be set. I met or
exceeded the complexity with Upper case , lowercase, Special
characters and numbers all in the same pass. The only item I
could figure out is that the minimum days needed to be zero,
and the minimum length needed to be 0 as well (btw, this is
not a good practice).
Does Microsoft have any guidelines on the password settings
in policy?
Another issue. Need the guidelines on how to set up
performance logs (size, items logged, etc.) , as I want to
set up the trace log at least. Currently the agent needs a
separate Name and USER id/pass in order to implement the
function properly. There should be a way to start this on
the current user id (ka <default>).
