-2016281112 (Remediation failed) - Minimum Password Length
Hi
So even only specifying: Require
Password type --> Default
Minimum password --> 8
Is giving you non compliant errors in a new device compliance policy
Hi,
Just wondering ( I am setting up a test vm right now) did the problem users also tried to change their password themself on the device itself and trying to check the compliance status in the company app?
I am missing the password type and password complexity in your screenshot? Or did you leave it on default?
And are the devices:
azure ad joined or domain/hybrid joined
Did you also disabled Windows Hello?
And did you also read the docs from microsoft about this topic
Policy CSP - DeviceLock - Windows Client Management | Microsoft Docs
The enforcement of policies for Microsoft accounts happen on the server, and the server requires a password length of 8 and a complexity of 2. A complexity value of 3 or 4 is unsupported and setting this value on the server makes Microsoft accounts non-compliant.
Hi,
One user changed his password but, he is having the same issue.
The Password type setting is the default one.
The devices are joined to an Azure AD.
The Windows Hello for some of the devices is enabled and for some others disabled.
The password has a minimum of twelve characters, x1 Upper case, x1 Lower case, x1 number & x1 special character.
Hi. As you know I sent you a private message with some tips.
For anyone else reading this question:
Hi,
I guess when I need to troubleshoot this. I would change one setting at a time.
If you take a look at the Microsoft doc I linked to...
*
I guess you have got 2 options.
*Remove that part of the compliance policy as it is not working (uservoice says the same?)
*Change the password compliance policy to require only 8 characters and digits and lowercase
characters --> check if that works
if it works --> add uppercase
if that works --> change policy to 12
If that works --> add complexity requirement
Also beware Users with passwords that meet the requirement are still prompted to change their passwords.
I know it can take a lot of time... but troubleshooting always does 😞 ..
- Hi,
I tried all the ways, but I'm still getting the device as non-compliant, and the error message is the same. I also test it with the assigned compliance policy without any result.Hi
