Alternative Ways to Network Settings

entry, click on Control Panel instead and browse to Network and Internet – Network and
Sharing Center.
On older Operating Systems, if you don’t have such an entry, search for the My Network
Places icon on the Desktop instead, right-click on it and select Properties.

5 Verify/Change OS Password Complexity Policy
The Operating System Password Complexity Policy allows forcing the user to choose complex
passwords instead of simple, which only contain characters.
First, you should decide whether to use simple or complex passwords in your SIPLACE
environment. The appropriate setting should be applied on all involved computers ensuring proper
communication.
CAUTION
Workgroup requires Accounts with same Passwords
SIPLACE computers working in a workgroup require the same accounts and passwords
to be set on all involved computers for proper authentication. Therefore you should also
enforce uniform setting of password complexity policy.
It is also strongly recommended to change the complexity policy setting before using
Support Media the first time!
To verify/change the password complexity policy of the Operating System, the following steps have
to be performed.
