Security Management Strategies for the CIORequires Free Membership to View
This is a great idea, but it isn't in Win2k by default, and I don't know of
an add-on to do it. This was first published in June 2001
Windows 2000 Advance Server supports card key or token authentication so users do not
have to remember a complicated/strong password. Does Win2k have the option of
the server generating new passwords based on default settings, such as
password expiration, eight character minimum length, etc.? Or perhaps an add-on
utility?
The reason for this question: Users set their initial Domain
ID password and then a PIN for their card key or token. They never use the
Domain password again and forget it. When the 'password expire' time
comes around (unless it is turned off), there is a flood of calls to the help desk to
reset passwords. If the server changes the password, the users do not need
to know what it is, and that particular part of security is maintained.
