Hi all,
I'd like to have your opinion and personal experience regarding what policy
to implement when dealing with passwords on a pure Windows Network (Windows
98, Windows NT 4 workstation and servers, Windows NT 2000 professional and
server). The NT domain is based on a NT Server 4 SP5, and the users get
mail from MS Exchange 5.5 SP3.
At my old job, whe had a mix environment of WinNT, Linux and Suns, so the
policy was to have a password of at least 8 characters long, containing
upper and lower case letters, numbers and one of those:
:;().,<>!@#$%^&*-_=+
I just want your opinion as to know if in a pure NT environment, I need to
have something that strict, or I can loosen it up a little and keep the
same strenght.
What is your opinion and what do you use/recommend in that matter?
Thanks!
