At my company we have several systems that are stand alone windows 2000 pro
workstations. We have the local security policy set so that you have to put a
password in that is 9 characters long. If you go to local user and groups and
create a new user, it will not finish or complete if you do not assign a
password that is a least 9 characters long.
We found today that if you open the user and password applet in the control
panel and click add under the user tab and go through the new user wizard, it
will allow you to assign a blank password. This can only be done if the
account is created by a administrator.
What I need to know is why does it allow it when you use the applet and not
when you use the local user and groups interface and is there a way to
disable or set it so that you cannot easliy create a new user with no
password.
These systems are for use in a closed environment and the company does not
like that you can so easily create a blank password account.
Any suggestions will be appreciated.
Thanks
