Ed Bott’s Microsoft Challenge — 1/20/00

Do you know how to keep from falling into three common Setup traps? I?m looking for the correct solution to these three problems:
1. You want your users to set strong passwords that can?t be cracked through dictionary attacks. What?s the undocumented command-line option that lets you automatically assign a strong password to a given user account?
2. Inaccurate time settings can wreak havoc on a network. What?s the best way to guarantee that all Windows 2000 PCs on a domain are set to the correct time?
3. How big is Windows 2000?s default swapfile? How do you change its size?
