We are changing password policy in company.
I would like to provide some kind of "company password policy rules" hint to user when user is changing his password using CTRL+ALT+DEL on Windows machine. Default Unable to update the password. The value provided for the new password does not meet the length, complexity, or history requirements of the domain is non-desriptive and I would like to replace it with something like ... must be at least ... characters long and must contain ..., or, maybe add any kind of help button or some text.
Is there any native way of doing this without third-party software and without patching system files?
No, there is no native way of doing so documented, so I am sure there is none. For a native way, you would need to use a script that users may trigger to change their own pw, that will display all requirements.
