Descripción

Applies the same password complexity policy used in Windows to passwords used inside SQL Server. Disabled logins with CHECK_POLICY OFF are counted too, as in the benchmark query. Default: CHECK_POLICY is ON Runs one sqlcmd query with its defaults (Windows authentication to the local default instance); set SQLCMDSERVER, SQLCMDUSER and SQLCMDPASSWORD for another instance or SQL authentication. Needs VIEW SERVER STATE / sysadmin-level read access.
