You must have had very few users or an extremely powerfull server to crack
by brute force the passwords. The password you referenced has 4 of the
recommended characters I wish every user used. Upper and lower case
characters, special characters, and numbers. What cracking software did you
use to do this ?

Hello all,

After running password cracking program on our W2000 PDC server, 98%
passwords 
are cracked out, even some very complicate passwords like - X1#!h0a_.

Is it attribute to the W2000 encryption method? I would like to persuade
my boss 
using LDAP as name service. Appreciate any information & idea! I will
summarize.

Thanks & Merry Christmas!
