Hi, I want run an application in WinPE that would collect details like user name, password, domain name etc and later apply them on Windows 2008 OS. My Problem is, how to validate the inputs taken. Example, the password taken should be complex enough to meet the windows 2008 password complexity check. Is there any way to have these complexity checks incorporated in WinPE. Any dlls and exe copied from Windows 2008 OS to WinPE and use them to validate inputs. Or we have to code from scrach to check the complexity. Thanks & Regards,
