Yes, it is.  I don't remember the exact terms, but there are different Hash
formats in use between the two.

I once cut all of my 9x users off by switching on a registry setting for
this... D'oh!

Subject: [windows2000] Another question about password policies


According to a Windows 2000 Server book I have, the option "Store Passwords
Using Reversible Encryption" is for Windows 95/98 clients (and Macintosh
users, but I don't have any of those) which need "...to authenticate with a
lower-level encryption".

Is this really true?  Unfortunately, I do have some Win 9x machines out
there.

scaling up?! Get this free white paper to understand the real constraints &
