We've had many helpdesk tickets over the years that when users changed their password, if they have a mapped drive, and a mixed case password, it would fail to authenticate.
We instructed those users not use mixed case passwords.
Is this still an issue with V7R3 and/or Win10?
Are new security password security policy will be requiring mixed case.
