    We have an account lockout policy setup for users on our domain Win 2K3
    / Active Directory environment. 4 invalid attempts the account locks out
    / 30 mins the account is released. We would like to change this policy
    for one the machines on our domain. This machine uses a local
    administrator account to log in.

    Is this possible ???

    Thanks,
    Shabbar
