Windows 10: Set password policy in autounattend.xml

Hi all,


I am trying to automate my windows installation. I already have a working unattend.xml which sets what I want. I would like to add another option, where it would set a password policy for the PC (capital and small letters, length, special characters, etc.). The PCs I install will not be joined in a domain, no GPOs etc.


Is anything like this possible without group policy?


Thanks!

New FF - passwords


Hi:

If that setting is already enabled, then I suggest as the next troubleshooting step might be Mozilla Safe Mode (not to be confused with Windows Safe Mode)):

Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode | Firefox Help
