Most useful password tool for Win 2008/R2 ever i see. Thank you
Thank you so much for such a wonderful tool!
Is there a licensing fee for installing this tool? Is there an end user license agreement available? Thanks!
There is no licensing fee, the tool is provided for free as is.
Musthave tool. Thanks a lot!
Great Tool! I do have a question. Can a group be configured on the “Policy Applies To” tab. I’ve been attempting to include one or more groups but the “Name Not Found” window is displayed after click on the “Check Names” button.
FGPP only works with Global Groups, Not Universal or Local Groups.
This is a great tool. Thank you for providing what MS chose not to do.
I would like the default action be properties. So when I double click on a PSO, it opens the properties. Instead of right clicking the PSO, then choosing Properties.
The only other suggestion would be to make it sort the precedence numerically. Right now, it shows 1, 10, 2, 3, 4 instead of 1, 2, 3, 4, 10.
[...] besser ist das passende GUI. Es gibt einige verschiedene kostenlose Programme, ich habe das “Fine Grain Password Policy Tool 1.0” erfolgreich [...]
Very nice tool.
Thanks.
Nice… Very nice job!
Congrats for a very handy tool
Thank you a lot for sharing!
Fine looking and working tool. But you cannot set the lockout duration and lockout observation to “(never)” respectively “(none)”. With adsiedtit (or ADUC -> attribute editor) this works fine and fulfills our requirements for account lockouts. May be you will do an update of your very useful tool?
thank you and kindly regards
