Dictionary Rule Not Working

I have installed Password Policy Manager on all DCs and I need to test against words we have added to the Dictionary file.  I have added the words to all DCs txt files and I am still able to use the words I have added to the files.  We are only using the Dictionary Rule and I have Checked "Enable dictionary lookup to reject passwords that contain: A complete word from the dictionary".  But like I said its not working, I have a test account I am using and it part of the correct groups I have setup on the PP server. 

 

What else do I need to do?  I have checked the encoding with Notepad ++ and the are set to USC-2 LE BOM and I am lost.  I am not sure if it should be this hard, maybe I am wrong.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thank you,

Wade

  • I have opened a ticket just waiting on their response. Let me give you a little more info on the system. And what I have done.

    We have 7 DCs across a couple of firewalls and we have installed PPM on each DC. On the server all I have active is the Dic Rule nothing else. The documentation for this software at best is just a headache. Besides adding PPM to the DCs is there anything else that would need to be done in AD or on the server?

    Thanks again,
