Hello world,
I've been battling with a little Windows problem lately. I work in student union's office next to a big university and we get our hardware and licences free from the university. Most of our office is connected to the university domain so every user logs in with their domain username. But we also own another building a few blocks away and there's no VPN so that building isn't connected to the domain. We brought some of our computers there and of course couldn't login to them, but the university installed some local accounts on them so that's solved now. The problem now is that the university domain has ridiculous password restrictions and since everyone has to use the same username/password on the remote building's computers, I would really like to get rid of the passwords. How do I do that? The domain password restrictions seem to apply for local accounts as well, but how do I disable them?
I got local admin account on the computers, I can't reinstall OS on them since we would lose the licences and also the university HelpDesk is helpless and doesn't care much of our problems. Ideas?
