Password Policy Manager ensures that all passwords in the organization comply with the password policies established by the Password Manager administrator. Password Policy Manager is necessary to enforce password policies configured in Password Manager in such cases, when users change their passwords using tools other than Password Manager. For example, when a user presses Ctrl+Alt+Delete to change password, the password policies configured in Password Manager will not be enforced, unless Password Policy Manager is installed. Skip this section if you do not use domain password policies assigned in Password Manager.
Both removal and installation of Password Policy Manager (PPM) requires computer restart. Upgrade PPM on all domain controllers in sequential order. Perform the upgrade during off-peak hours to cause minimal impact to your organization’s operations.
To guarantee that all the passwords in your organization comply with the established policies, Password Policy Manager must be deployed on all domain controllers in the managed domain.
To upgrade from Password Policy Manager version 4.x
If the previous version of Password Policy Manager has been deployed through Group Policy, it should be uninstalled by removing the previously assigned MSI package from the Software installation list. For more information, see Uninstalling Password Policy Manager. After the previous version is removed from the domain controllers, the new version may be deployed to those DCs through Group Policy.
Password policy settings are not deleted when you uninstall Password Policy Manager version 4.x and picked up by newer versions of PPM.
