hello,<br />
<br />
Is it possible to customize the password complexity and enforce rules such as:<br />
- prevent 3 or more repeating keys such as &quot;aaa&quot; or &quot;@@@&quot;<br />
- prevent dictionary words<br />
- prevent keyboard sequence keys such as: qwerty<br />
<br />
our domain functional level is 2003.<br />
<br />
If it's not natively possible, are there any 3rd party tools that can achieve that?<br />
<br />
Thanks.

AD password complexity customization

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).
