Software Deployment

If there's nothing in the Package KB, I'd suggest that this question is best directed to the vendor.

A cursory Google *suggests* that this might be controlled via Group Policy, as the vendor supplies an administrative template for the product.

The Vendors Hotline isnt very good [:)]

The thing is, that here this issue also appeared in the old package (4.11) - and that was fixed after testing... But i doenst find the change that was made to the old package...

Maybee Grouppolicy isnt so an bad idea, i have a look in this direction!
Thanks for helping

The Vendors Hotline isnt very good Find the MD's fax number and send him a fax with one word (or, for more impact, one letter of a word) per page, asking that if he wouldn't mind finding someone from his company to help a customer. It might cost a bit in fax time but how much is the delay in deploying costing you? If no fax number, do the same with a Word/PDF attachment to an email. If no email, call him up under the pretence that you're a regulator from the NYSE or whatever and no, he can't call you back, you need to speak to him right now!

I see, you`re a skilled hotline-fighter :-)

There is a setting under General called "minimum password age" if that is what you mean. Just change that to 0 and that would disable it. This has to be done in the .cfg file you specific via command line while installing the software(CFGFILE=) or by GPO. You can also do a change file for the existing installs (EXECCFG.exe --see the manual). Most people set the values to the lowest allowable number under that "password settings" section so that your Domain Controller enforces the password policy rather than SGE.
