Hi all,
Can anyone like to share how to list all the logins from syslogins system table, later change all the "CHECK_POLICY=ON" if it is "OFF".
Kindly advice. Thanks.

This hould give you all SQL accounts (so no domain or built-in accounts)

And then you will have to write a script to wrap around each account and turn policy either on or off.

SELECT name, loginname FROM syslogins WHERE name NOT LIKE '%\%' AND name NOT LIKE '#%'

Use ALTER LOGIN in conjunction with the above query to turn on CHECK POLICY

All the pieces from above, all put together.

SELECT 'ALTER LOGIN ' + QuoteName(name) + ' WITH CHECK_POLICY = ON;'

FROM sys.server_principals

WHERE [type] = 'S' -- SQL Server Logins only

AND principal_id > 1 -- not sa - omit this line if you want to include it
