Manual Installation (Express Setup)

Manual installation is recommended for small to medium networks. You need to repeat the installation procedure below on every computer that should enforce the password policy. To install Password Policy Enforcer onto a computer:

Step 1 – Start the Password Policy Enforcer installer (PPE10.2.exe).

Step 2 – Read the license agreement, and then click Yes if you accept all the license terms and conditions.

Step 3 – Select the Express option, and then click Next.

Step 4 – Select the Password Policy Server check box if it is not selected.

Step 5 – Click Next to install Password Policy Enforcer.

Step 6 – Click Yes when asked to restart the computer.

Password Policy Enforcer has its own password rules, so you may want to disable the Windows password policy rules before configuring Password Policy Enforcer. See the Disable Windows Rules topic for additional information.
