Thanks...

We've installed the enpasflt.dll, but it hasn't solved our problem. My
tech just asked if this could be on conflict with the passfilt.dll used by
default. Looking at what else I could find online, this may be an issue.
Unless I'm mistaken, the group policy is what determines what .dll is used
(in rough terms). Is there a way to direct a policy to one .dll over
another?

Thanks again.
