Not that I know of. If the computers are in a domain they you can use Group
Policy to enforce password complexity for domain and local users. If not in
a domain you can configure Local Security Policy to do the same though nay
local administrator could undo such. A startup script could also be
configured using secedit and a security template to reapply the security
template at each computer startup to maintain enforcement of password
complexity. You also might look into trying LanGuard to see if it can scan
for what you want. You can download a free trial time limited version. ---
