Asked 11 years, 10 months ago. The use of ALT key character combinations may greatly enhance the complexity of a password.
However, requiring all users in an organization to adhere to such stringent password requirements might result in unhappy users and an over-worked Help Desk.
Consider implementing a requirement in your organization to use ALT characters in the range from through as part of all administrator passwords. ALT characters outside of that range can represent standard alphanumeric characters that do not add more complexity to the password. Passwords that contain only alphanumeric characters are easy to compromise by using publicly available tools. To prevent this, passwords should contain additional characters and meet complexity requirements.
The following table lists the actual and effective default policy values. Default values are also listed on the policy's property page. This section describes how an attacker might exploit a feature or its configuration, how to implement the countermeasure, and the possible negative consequences of countermeasure implementation. Passwords that contain only alphanumeric characters are easy to discover with several publicly available tools.
Configure the Passwords must meet complexity requirements policy setting to Enabled and advise users to use a variety of characters in their passwords.
When combined with a Minimum password length of 8, this policy setting ensures that the number of different possibilities for a single password is so great that it's difficult but possible for a brute force attack to succeed. If the Minimum password length policy setting is increased, the average amount of time necessary for a successful attack also increases. If the default configuration for password complexity is kept, more Help Desk calls for locked-out accounts could occur because users might not be used to passwords that contain non-alphabetical characters, or they might have problems entering passwords that contain accented characters or symbols on keyboards with different layouts.
Disable it there. I know setting it opposite on the ou "should" override but I have seen this. Good luck.
