Microsoft tells IT admins to nix 'obsolete' password reset practice
Credit to Author: Gregg Keizer| Date: Tue, 30 Apr 2019 03:00:00 -0700
Microsoft last week recommended that organizations no longer force employees to come up with new passwords every 60 days.
The company called the practice – once a cornerstone of enterprise identity management – “ancient and obsolete” as it told IT administrators that other approaches are much more effective in keeping users safe.
“Periodic password expiration is an ancient and obsolete mitigation of very low value, and we don’t believe it’s worthwhile for our baseline to enforce any specific value,” Aaron Margosis, a principal consultant for Microsoft, wrote in a post to a company blog.

Read MoreMicrosoft Patch Alert: April patches have sharp edges, with several missing, others reappearing
Credit to Author: Woody Leonhard| Date: Mon, 29 Apr 2019 09:32:00 -0700
You have to wonder who’s testing this stuff.
Admins, in particular, have had a tough month. April brought widespread breakdowns – bluescreens, hangs, very sluggish behavior – to hundreds of thousands of Win7 and 8.1 machines. This wasn’t a “small percentage” kind of event. For some companies, rebooting overnight on Tuesday brought seas of blue screens on Wednesday morning.
The first round of cumulative updates and Monthly Rollups arrived on Patch Tuesday, but the now-ubiquitous second round didn’t show up until late Thursday afternoon, two and a half weeks later. Talk about admins taking a beating.
We still have one Tuesday left this month – the mythical “E week” that Microsoft never talks about – so the month may yet end with both a bang and whimper.
