Password Setting Objects (aka Fine-Grained Passwords)

PSO's were first introduced in Windows 2008 and the ADSI Edit tool was required to create the object.
The ADSI edit method is still available in newer Windows operatings systems but beginning with Windows 2012 Microsoft added the ability to manage PSO's to the Active Directory Administrative Center; a much more user-friendly interface.   It is good to know both methods. 

Windows Security.com:  This article walks you through the ADSI Edit approach to creating a PSO.  How to set I8 Values: This article shows you how to convert time attributes to I8 format:  Not necessary to know if always using the GUI but would be necessary if using a batch processing approach (not covered in this course)

Microsoft TechNet :Use this article to read about Fine-Grained Policies.   This provides a good, detailed, explanation of this Windows feature. 

The Active Directory Administrative Center approach to create a PSO is covered in the class video it's also included in Chapter 30 of the Windows InsideOut textbook.  An electronic copy of the book is availalbe in the Miscellaneous block at the top of this page
