When you create a new user in windows there is a tick box to disable the account but it is not ticked by default and the user is created in an enabled state. I see the following when: - Both Windows and Fedora DS set to enforce no password complexity constraints - Windows sync agreement and password sync working - When creating a user in AD only one option is selected by default - user must change password at next login. - The following options are not ticked by default: -- User cannot change password -- Password never expires -- Account is disabled create user in AD userAccountControl: 512 (Normal) create user in Fedora DS (console) userAccountControl: 546 (Normal + PASSWD_NOTREQ + ACCOUNTDISABLE) Would there be anything wrong with Fedora DS just forcing userAccountControl = 512? Or are more options needed in the user creation dialog?
