2.176 Attribute pwdProperties

This attribute specifies an unsigned long numeric that, bit by bit, is home to several true/false policies, most of which can be configured under the default domain policy Group Policy Object's (GPO's) Computer Configuration\Windows Settings\Security Settings\Account Policies\Password Policy folder. For example, the DOMAIN_PASSWORD_COMPLEX setting, which can be configured through a GPO's "Passwords must meet complexity requirements" policy, occupies pwdProperties' first bit. See [MS-SAMR] for more information on bit descriptions.
