    I have a server application that creates it's own local anonymous user and
    must control it's password so it can log in as that user.

    This works fine, I have the server generate a new password each time it
    starts up and use that new password to log in and get user tokens.

    A problem arises when the software is installed on systems that have
    password requirements. Since these can be so different,

        1) is there a way to have windows generate a random password based on
    it's current password rules?
        2) how does IIS control it's IUSER_ABCD account's password?

    I suppose I have to adhere to
        * password length/character requirements
        * password expiration (must change it some time)
        * password change rules (can't change it more than X times in Y days,
    etc)

    Any help is appreciated.
