I am having a situation where I need to restrict the user access to change their password in Active Directory (Windows Server 2008 Standard) environment. What I need is to check the Account Options where:
User Cannot Change Password
Password Never Expire
Are there the best way to enforce this policy through Group Policy?
I am using ubuntu11.10 64 bit version . while checking the user account i have changed my admin user as an standard user. As aresult there is no more admin user. and here the problem begins . whereever authentication is needed it is asking for admin password .
Can someone tell me where the password policy control is?
There seems to be two places to change passwords:
from user>system settings>user accounts>click password field
and activities>applications>other>users and groups>user.properties
In the 'user accounts' option, the screen prompts with secure passwords - if the password is weak, it won't allow the password at all
I need to change password of a non-root user on HPUX. Due to some local policy, it is not allowing me to do so. I need to keep same (previous) password, as that is application user. Can I bypass policy for this time, for this user somehow ?
Im kinda new to network administration.
I was asked to change the password on our SQL Server. The only account that is used to log in is the Administrator account.
I did a dumb thing and reset it through Ctrl+Alt+Delete > "Change Password". The admin password got reset for the whole domain.
I have Ubuntu 12.04 LTS installed and have read many articles on finding a way to change the admin password as i forgot it after installing it a while ago. I have 2 users on this comp which i know the pass to 1 but the admin 1st user i can no longer get into. I have tried many ways like going through grub, root and trying to unmount.
Hi guys.
I'am wondering the following.
When needing to create user accounts for new users how do you do the following.Create a temporialy password for a user that expires as soon as the user logs in for the first time.
Set password complexity system wide. Example, a password must contain 1 upper and 1 lower case, 1 letter and be minimum 8 characters long.
Kind regards.
We recently enabled password complexity requirements in our company and I noticed that users already having complex passwords weren't forced to change their password but everyone else was required to.
Now the question is how does AD confirm password complexity when reversible encryption is not enabled?
When I run the command kadmin.local -q "addprinc admin/admin" it adds the realm to the end of user. So admin/admin becomes admin/admin@LBOX.COM
This is what I ran.
