Be sure to check out a new program offering from a company called nFront Security, Inc. They are offering a program, nFront Password Filter, that will ENFORCE your password policies across your domain. No more having to write custom applications or even run a "policy server".

It all ties in with your GPO and is really easy to install. Frankly, I can’t believe someone (ME) didn’t think of this earlier. Be sure to check it out. The address is nFrontSecurity.com

Oh yeah, one more thing…they serve companies in the Fortune 100, so they have a proven track record. Because they have this experience with HUGE multi-national corporations, they developed a way to install the software without the need to reboot. None of the competitors do that. If it seems like I’m excitied about this product, thats because I AM! I really think this is going to take off. TRY IT YOURSELF. There’s also a video you can watch.
