Is a password change logged? 1

[dotobi]

Hey

Does SBS 2003 log anywhere when a user changes a password, or if an administrator changes someone's password?

This is just that the password has been changed, obviously not what the passwords were.

Thanks

Kev

I don't think so, but I think if you enable the Additional Info tab in ADUC, you can see when a particular users password was last set.

I think you can also audit the exercise of user rights, including (I believe) the one to change a password. The general path for doing it is laid out here:

Download the 2003 Resource Kit Tools and install Acctinfo.dll

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...69-57FF-4AE7-96EE-B18C4790CFFD&displaylang=en

This will provide a new tab in the account properties called "Additional Account Info". That tab will list the last time the password was changed (but not by who) and the next time the password expires.
