Password validation failed

Hello Group,
we got the following message when running execute sp_adduser
Server: Msg 15118, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Password validation failed. The password does not meet Windows policy
requirements because it is not complex enough.
Server: Msg 15007, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_adduser, Line 15
is there a way to turn this off on sql server(2005sp2) level.
Thanks in advancedTal shalom
Firstv of all in SQL Server 2005 using CREATE USER ... is recommended way
instead of sp_adduser.
Now regarding to the error you are getting, it is because you created LOGIN
with 'weak' password.
Please run in query builder (take a look at CHECK_POLICY=OFF parameter in
the BOL)
create login tal with password ='t',
go
create user Joe for login tal
drop user joe
drop login tal

Thanks for the answer. I understand that CHECK_POLICY=OFF can be done per
individual login . However can it be done on the SERVER level for ALL
logins. This would help us not nodify the
code when migrationg from SQL 2000 to SQL 2005
Thanks in advanced

By default CHECK_POLICY=ON.CHECK_POLICY are only enforced on Windows Server
2003 so I have no idea how to change it .

password sql 2005

I am creating an db login called test to test some sripts. When I try to set
that password it says password validation failed. The password does not meet
windows policy requirenments because it is too short.
In sql 2005 is the password policy based on your windwows policy?

It can be, but doesn't HAVE to be. Study the options that are available
when you create a new login.

|||I think that this is the behvior if the OS is windows 2003. In any
case you can use the option CHECK_POLICY = OFF when you create the
login. Here is an example:
CREATE LOGIN MyLogin WITH PASSWORD = 'MyPass', CHECK_POLICY = OFF
