In AD I can set a password history to prevent users from toggling between 2 passwords every time they need to change it. How can I prevent user from counting up their passwords?<br />
i.e.:<br />
abc<br />
abcd<br />
abcde<br />
<br />
password1<br />
password2<br />
password3<br />

Password Policies in AD (forbid parts of the old password when setting a new one)

Active Directory (AD) is a Microsoft brand for identity-related capabilities. In the on-premises world, Windows Server AD provides a set of identity capabilities and services, and is hugely popular (88% of Fortune 1000 and 95% of enterprises use AD). This topic includes all things Active Directory including DNS, Group Policy, DFS, troubleshooting, ADFS, and all other topics under the Microsoft AD and identity umbrella.

Active Directory

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).
