Specops Password Policy Listing updated: January 19, 2006

Specops Password Policy overcomes this restriction by allowing you to specify multiple password policies and assign them based on security group and organizational unit membership, and even for individual user accounts. Specops Password Policy offers granular password complexity requirements when specifying the rules for a password policy. One such rule is the ability to define lists containing words restricted for use in passwords.

Additional features include special behavior when administrators reset lost passwords. A password policy can be configured not to apply when the password is reset, as well as automatically unlocking accounts and requiring the user to change the password at the next logon. This lowers the burden for administrators when resetting lost passwords.
