Security News > 2020 > November > Review: Specops Password Policy

To be fair, Microsoft did revise and upgrade the default password policy and introduced additional, granular fine-tuning options over the years, but for some enterprise environments that's still not enough, so Specops Password Policy to the rescue!

For the purpose of this review, the installation was done on a server containing all necessary services: Specops Sentinel - a password filter that is installed on all domain controllers, and Specops Password Policy admin tools.

The one key difference here is that Specops Password Policy applies password settings to the user part of group policy rather than computer.

The Password Rules menu brings additional password rules granularity which should allow for virtually any password policy scenario.

I can highly recommend Specops Password Policy for any Active Directory environment, and I would go as far as to say it's a necessity for complex environments dealing with compliance regulations, as well as specific password policy requirements.
