Was doing some digging "What's New" in Server2025 learn.microsoft.com/en-us/window... specifically the changes to pre-2k machines. Oddvar and I had spoken previously about the changes being solid and demonstrated pre-created machines in ADUC could no longer be set with a default password.

So what's happening? The tool before would create the computer object without a password and then set it to a default after the fact. Now, that password setting is blocked and the object persists...with no password.

I had a hunch though that behavior might not be true for third party tools and third-party tools were arguably the biggest cause of their existence across all the enviroments I've tested over the years. An example of this is the adcli command line tool. Before it would set with a default password.
