Each PSO must have a precedence index number. PSOs with a higher precedence index, like 1, take priority over those with a lower precedence index, like 10. PSOs can be applied to users and groups. When possible, apply PSOs to groups.
The PSO with the highest precedence index, i.e. closest to 1, will apply. The msDS-ResultantPSO attribute in AD exposes the resultant PSO for a user object if you want to check it. PSOs linked to user accounts always take precedence over those linked to groups.
If you want to apply a PSO to all the users in an Organizational Unit (OU), you will need to create a group that contains all the members of the OU and apply the PSO to the group. If the users in the OU change, you must update the group membership.
While PSOs can be applied to multiple users and groups, only one PSO ever applies to a user account. The PSO with the highest precedence index, i.e. closest to 1, will apply.
When a PSO is applied to a user, the user no longer uses the password policy deployed by Group Policy. Instead, they use the specified PSO settings. To learn more about fine-grained password policies, click here .
A PSO contains all the same password settings that exist in all other GPOs. To apply different settings to sets of users, administrators need to create a new PSO and configure the settings as per requirement. When a PSO is applied to a user, the user no longer uses the password policy deployed by Group Policy.
To create a PSO: In the ADAC , go to System → Password Settings Container. Right click and select New followed by Password Settings. In the Create Password Settings window that appears, fill in the details required, including name, precedence, password age options, and more. Click Add to select the group on which you want the policy to take effect.
To view the resultant policy settings on a user: In the ADAC , go to Manage → Add Navigation Nodes. Select the required domain and user, and click OK . In the Tasks pane, click View Resultant Password Settings. Viewing Resultant Settings in a PSO.
It is an integer valued attribute and value of ‘1’ indicates the highest precedence. Note that merging of settings from multiple PSOs is not possible.
While PSOs can be applied to multiple users and groups, only one PSO ever applies to a user account. The PSO with the highest precedence index, i.e. closest to 1, will apply. The msDS-ResultantPSO attribute in AD exposes the resultant PSO for a user object if you want to check it.
In this video tutorial, implementation of Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) in MATLAB is discussed in detail. In the first part, theoretical foundations of PSO is briefly reviewed.
