Netwrix Password Policy Enforcer is an advanced password filter for Windows. This Evaluator's Guide shows you how to quickly install, configure, and test Password Policy Enforcer. Password Policy Enforcer helps you to secure your network by ensuring that users choose strong passwords. If a user chooses a password that does not comply with the password policy, Password Policy Enforcer immediately rejects the password and tells the user why their password was rejected.

Unlike password cracking products that check passwords after they are accepted by the operating system, Password Policy Enforcer checks new passwords immediately to ensure that weak passwords do not jeopardize system security.

NOTE: You can also use Password Policy Enforcer to ensure that passwords are compatible with other systems, and to synchronize passwords with other systems and applications.

The Administration topic contains additional installation and configuration information. Refer to the Administrator's topic for more detailed coverage of the information in this document.
