I have a test lab set up. Consist of 1 DC and 1 Workstation. I have
set up security policies in the GPO on an OU. This is the highest
level GPO. All policies seem to work, except account lockout
threshold. It's set to 9 and I can easily exceed this threshold
without any lockout occurring?! Say after the 14th attempt I type in
the correct password, hey presto i'm in! I have checked the
"effective" policy on the workstation and it is indeed 9 attempts.

Have I missed something? Doe it have to be set at the domain root?
i.e. all machines? Surely not. I have trawled deja and tech net for
this, but to no avail!

Anybody have any suggestions?
