I've been updating our rpc.samr.passwords.badpwdcount test.

My servers were both installed from scratch, with defaults etc.  Of course, or own tests or even policies may have changed things - we do try and set up password history in our tests however. 

What I've noticed is that the 'Password history check (N-2)' check described here, doesn't seem to work any more:

Before I dig further, can you confirm it is expected to remain a feature?

Thanks,

Andrew Bartlett
