UF_PASSWD_NOTREQD on DC's userAccountControl

[Guest]

DCDIAG reveals that someone set the userAccountControl on 1 of my 6 DCs to
0x82020 instead of leaving it at 0x82000. This sets the UF_PASSWD_NOTREQD
flag.

I just inherited this domain and see no reason not to set the
userAccountControl back to 0x82000. I see nothing special running on this
DC. Does anyone know any reason not to set it back?

Does anyone know of any 3rd party software that requires the
UF_PASSWD_NOTREQD flag?

I believe 0x82020 (hex value) is a mistake. I see 0x82000 on DC's.
