Password Policy Manager

We have installed the Password Policy Manager on one DC in our organization for testing the Dictionary Rule.  We only want to use that option in the Policy Rules and only to look at the Dictionary after it looks against our AD policies.  The problem I am having is, if I put a password in the dictionary I want to test it will take the password.  I choose a password I know will get past our AD rules but we want it to be stopped when it hits the dictionary.  But, its not.

 

For the Password Policy Manger to work do we need it installed on all DCs?  The reason I ask is because we have 6 more DCs that do not have the Policy Manager installed on. 

 

Thank you,

Wade

  • It was very helpful, I was talking to my Director and we may just move over to PM to take care of all password requirements. What we have set in AD can all be set in PM anyways. The only thing I am worried of is we want to test this and I am not sure how to do that with messing with all users. I am guess that is what the Allowed groups and OUs are for. I hope I don't want to break anything because they will not be happy and I will be in a bad spot. Thank you for your help.
