Enable the Random Password Policy
The Random Password policy lets you generate random passwords for a defined collection.
To set up and use the Random Password policy:
- In the Symantec Management Console, on the Home menu, click Arellia > Local Security
- In the left pane, select Policies > Windows > Local User Tasks > Random Password Policy for Administrators
- Right-click Random Password Policy for Administrators and select Clone.
- Give the rename the new policy with a unique name and click OK.
- In the left pane, select the new policy.
- In the right pane, enable the policy using the On/Off toggle.
- For the purpose of this Getting Started exercise, you do not need to make any other changes to this policy.
Note: The Log password at server before change option ensures the password change request and subsequent change are never lost. However, there is additional overhead associated with selecting this option because of the added communication between Notification Server and managed computers.
- Click Save changes.
