Kunz, Jeffrey T. (JKunz foley com)
I'm pretty sure that the Windows 2000 or 2003 SDK includes the source
code for passfilt.dll, which will allow you to implement a more granular
policy tailored to your needs. You would simply need to edit and
recompile.

Subject: Password complexity - improvement

Is there a way to improve the password complexity requirements in
Windows 2000/2003 servers

The default will enforce 3 of the following 4 properties - Uppercase,
smallercase, numbers, special-characters.

Is there a way to enforce all 4 properties. I donot want to install
third-party software

I have read about customising passfilt.dll . Is that recommended. Does
MS provide a customised passfilt.dll for download and install.

Are there any support issues if I go for something like this ?
