I am looking for assistance in changing the account lockout policy
settings for my end users.

PDC is a Windows NT Server
80% workstations Windows 2000
20% workstations Windows NT4 (at the end of a migration stage to Windows
2000, so I am not worried as much about changing the policies on the nt4
workstations)

I came across a thread with a tool called "AccountPolicy 0.2" but it
appeared to be for a complete Windows NT4 environment

I also read on a previous thread that you can change the workstation local
admin passwords via a script. Is this able to be done with a NT Server to
Windows 2000 workstations and if so can someone point me in the right
direction.

Thanks in Advance
