So i set GP to ask for stronger passwords, and set the flag to &quot;reset password at next login&quot;, would that do the trick? &nbsp;<br />
<br />
I'm not much for scripting and aren't even sure where they would go!<br />
<br />
Thanks.

I have a site where some people, on a 2008R2 domain, are using NO password to login. &nbsp;We recently had a malware outbreak (wow, what a surprise). &nbsp;<br />
<br />
How can I enforce stronger passwords? &nbsp;so if user Joe, with no password, logs in with his no password, he is prompted to change that password. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
Thank you.
