fix
The Microsoft Windows Operating System currently does not have an attribute in the system to allow NetIQ to report on this. The only report currently available for short passwords documents users with passwords shorter than 8 characters in length.  There is currently no way to modify this report or create a custom check that will query and report passwords with fewer than 8 characters.
