Joanne Posted November 6, 2015 Posted November 6, 2015 As the title really. Domain policy is in place to not require a password. DC is 2008 R2 with the GPOs updated for Windows 10. When I try to log on with a generic pupil account it says that the username or password is incorrect. Works fine on a windows 7 machine. Any suggestions?
Joanne Posted November 6, 2015 Author Posted November 6, 2015 I should also add that on local group policies the settings are all correct.
NB9457 Posted November 6, 2015 Posted November 6, 2015 I'd also like to know as I thought I was going crazy the other day! Again all password policies set as apparently they should be, but it still was being a
Joanne Posted November 6, 2015 Author Posted November 6, 2015 I've upgraded the schema to version 69 (lol) which is the 2012 R2 version, although I doubt this has anything to do with it. I've got a 2012 R2 server... might see if I can get any sense out of it. Got a delivery of 16 laptops and I wanted to put 10 on them, but I think I'm just gonna slam 7 on them and wait until my 10 image is definitely ready! 1
disk Posted November 6, 2015 Posted November 6, 2015 We have started to deploy Windows 10 upgrades and some of them are set to use generic domain accounts with no password. Everything is working great. Our Domain and Forest functional level is 2012.
Joanne Posted November 9, 2015 Author Posted November 9, 2015 (edited) My domain and forest functional level is still 2008 R2 I think. I'll take a look at upgrading. Duh. Can't upgrade while the 2008R2 box is still boss. Need to look at upgrading the OS I guess! Edited November 9, 2015 by Joanne
edutech4schools Posted November 9, 2015 Posted November 9, 2015 I have a 2008r2 domain and will test this for you today. 1
Joanne Posted November 9, 2015 Author Posted November 9, 2015 Thanks. Considering giving all the kids passwords, because LearnPads don't like no passwords either...
edutech4schools Posted November 9, 2015 Posted November 9, 2015 hmmm same thing. Will give them all a simple password then.
Joanne Posted November 9, 2015 Author Posted November 9, 2015 Might make password changes over christmas and update banks of laptops then... hard for ks1 kids to get the password thing down when they can't even type in their username
charlie123 Posted November 9, 2015 Posted November 9, 2015 my functional level is 2012 r2 and i have same problem, im using the education version, ive tried on enterprise and it alllows a local blank password so could it be because its education?
Michael Posted November 10, 2015 Posted November 10, 2015 I don't see why this is a major problem? Configure the username/password as cat or dog for example. I think Microsoft are right to block no passwords.

I think Microsoft are right to block no passwords. I think you need to meet some of our kids. You know there will be problems when a year 5 kid can't even type his name...
witch Posted November 10, 2015 Posted November 10, 2015 Is there a length policy? Some of ours have their first initial as username and password
Joanne Posted November 10, 2015 Author Posted November 10, 2015 length is set at 0 and all Windows 7 machines work fine with no password. Just Windows 10 not allowing it
witch Posted November 10, 2015 Posted November 10, 2015 I meant that you can set the kids up with their initial as a username and password - they might remember that?
Joanne Posted November 10, 2015 Author Posted November 10, 2015 like joe.b? currently it's joe.bloggs... gonna slam passwords on there after christmas I think. It's currently looking like the only option!
witch Posted November 10, 2015 Posted November 10, 2015 no, in that instance can you not use "j" as a password AND a username for the very challenged/young ones
Joanne Posted November 10, 2015 Author Posted November 10, 2015 ahhh ok. I'd have too many duplicates on account of being a 2 form intake. Currently for the younger ones we have class logons like r1, r2, y1f etcs. I'll have to put passwords on them once I start with the Windows 10 rollout.
Michael Posted November 10, 2015 Posted November 10, 2015 Granted - I work at schools with pupils with educational needs, but I still think a basic password is better than no password.
Joanne Posted November 10, 2015 Author Posted November 10, 2015 this child isn't SEN... (just from Burnley )
Michael Posted November 10, 2015 Posted November 10, 2015 this child isn't SEN... (just from Burnley ) So they're in Year 5 and can't enter their username or password? That's not great is it (no reflection on you personally)!
Joanne Posted November 10, 2015 Author Posted November 10, 2015 So they're in Year 5 and can't enter their username or password? That's not great is it (no reflection on you personally)! He's new and does have a weird spelling surname, but not so weird to make me want to simplify it. If a child does have a complex name that they struggle with I'll shorten it.
