Disable password policies in ADLDS (Adam)

      ,       1 comment
Since AD LDS uses the password policies from the local system or the domain, there is no way to set a specific password policy for the AD LDS instance. But there is a way to disable the policy so you could handle the password policy in your own code.

The following command disables the policy
dsmgmt "Configurable Settings" Connections "connect to server localhost:389" q "Set ADAMDisablePasswordPolicies to 1" "Commit changes" q q

Note! My instance of AD LDS is running on "localhost:389". Change it to the server and port that you use.

This nice article explains it in more detail
