Password policies

Don't forget to protect your passwords and do not reuse them. Use a password policy to ensure that accounts on the server can't be compromised or broken by some sort of brute-force attack. If your server is a member of Active Directory Domain Services (ADDS), the password policy will be set at the domain level. We will discuss password policies in detail in an upcoming section.
