Re: Password policy

If you're familiar with C you can write a password filter to do this.
Microsoft even gives you a sample to get started.

Your needs are very simple, but take care when writing password
filters. A buggy password filter could jeopardize your network security
and/or crash your DCs.

If you would rather purchase a solution, then our Password Policy
Enforcer product will do exactly what you want without any programming.
