I'll let you in on a secret, Rick doesn't really like me very much.
 
He sat there in the keynote at DEC trying to get me arrested by the Canadian Royal Mounted Policy by telling Stuart Kwan (of the Ottawa Kwan Clan) in front of millions, ok hundreds, of people that I had death threats out against MS personnel to make them remove IE. Stuart even repeated it questioningly looking around carefully "Death.... Threats.....???". Then Stuart said "Ladies and Gentleman, are you familiar with ActiveDir.Org???? May I present Joe Richards...." and pointed in my general direction. To which I was underwhelmingly greeted with a near total lack of cheers and adulation and a couple of whispered comments of "who the &*$* is Joe Richards?"[1] and in fact I think someone sitting near me in fact whispered that exact statement to me. I do thank the folks who applauded, all three of you. I figure if he would have instead said "May I present joe...." with careful pronunciation of the lower case j the whole room would have erupted in song and dance and a great celebration of life and the number 42. We missed a great life altering party by the sheer weight of a capital letter and an unknown last name.

They will be required to meet complexity when their current password expires after the new requirements take effect.

 

If you want it to happen faster, expire the passwords with a script.

Does anyone know if this setting is enabled at the default domain policy are my users going to get prompted to change their passwords immediately if their current password does not meet the complexity requirements?  Or will they be forced to use a complex password when they change their passwords?

 

Thanks

Greg
