<p><span style="color: #000000; font-family: Segoe UI; font-size: medium;">Password must not be guessable from name of workstation, MAC addresss, etc. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000; font-family: Segoe UI; font-size: medium;">There must be a way for eligible people (IT support staff) to easily know the password when necessary </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000; font-family: Segoe UI; font-size: medium;">Password management solution must scale to support thousands of workstations </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000; font-family: Segoe UI; font-size: medium;">Password management solution&nbsp; must be easily deployable and manageable </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000; font-family: Segoe UI; font-size: medium;">Password management mechanism must be resistant against tampering with </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000; font-family: Segoe UI; font-size: medium;">Password management solution&nbsp; must support renaming of builtin Administrator account </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000; font-family: Segoe UI; font-size: medium;">Password management solution must offer the mechanism for bulk password change when necessary </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000; font-family: Segoe UI; font-size: medium;">Solution must support Windows 2000 and above. For Vista and Win7, support of both x86 and amd64 platforms is required </span></p>
