What is Cacti ??

Cacti is an open-source, web-based network monitoring and graphing tool designed as a front-end application for the open-source, industry-standard data logging tool RRDtool. Cacti allows a user to poll services at predetermined intervals and graph the resulting data. It is generally used to graph time-series data of metrics such as CPU load and network bandwidth utilization. A common usage is to monitor network traffic by polling a network switch or router interface via simple network management protocol (SNMP). (wikipedia)
Cacti is a complete frontend to RRDTool, it stores all of the necessary information to create graphs and populate them with data in a MySQL database.

How to edit the password policy on Windows Server 2008 R2 with Active Directory

When setting up a new Windows Server 2008 server either with or without Active Directory you will discover that it has a rather strong policy for passwords.  If you are setting this up at home or in a small business environment and don't want to deal with the complex passwords that are required to meet the policy guidelines, you can edit the policy to disable the complexity requirements.  You can try going to a command prompt and typing 'gpedit.msc' then navigating to Computer Settings\Windows Settings\Security Settings\Account Policies\Password Policy\ section.
Here you will see the 'Password must meet complexity requirements' item.  When viewing the properties of it, usually the Enabled/Disabled radio buttons will be grayed out and you cannot change the values.  If they are able to be changed, go ahead and do it, and save out of the dialog boxes.  If it is grayed out and you cannot change it here, this is how you do it:

    Go to a command prompt
