Hi all: I wish to conduct a password audit for all the networked devices in my company. We have abt 70 Windows servers, 500 desktops, a few Solaris & Linux machines, lots of networked printers, switches and perimeter devices. I would like useful tips on: 1. What's the best way to get management approval for this? Are there any accepted standards or methodologies that I can use to help me get management approval, as well as to conduct the audit itself? 2. There are lots of tools that I can use for this. Are there any that *stand out* that can perform pwd checks across various platforms & OSes? 3. What's the best way to report my findings? Thanks in advance for your help...
