  I am looking for method to validate strength of SQL account passwords, without enabling password policies on the servers.

  Thanks in advance

  You might be able to do something with a DDL trigger, but I'm not sure. Check that out as a possibility.

  Why not just use password policies? That's the easiest solution.
