Jason,
After reading through your post, I'm having some
trouble seeing where you're finding the difficulty,
exactly. When you connect the Win2K client to the the
NT PDC, you seem to be thinking that the settings for
the domain account will be ignored simply b/c the
client is Win2K. This is NOT the case.
If you want to set the account lockout policies for
the NT PDC, simply go to the PDC, open User Manager
for Domains, click Policies, then Accounts. Then set
your account lockout settings. Yes, this can also be
done via a variety of scripts.
Changing the local Admin passwords on the clients is
also pretty simple w/ a Perl script that uses the
Win32::Lanman module.
