Re: sql server 2005 account lockout

In 2005, I know I can inherit AD properties when using a sql account to
enforce password complexity rules, failed login lockout etc.

But if I do NOT want to inherit from AD, does SS2005 provide a way to lock
an account after x number of failed login attempts?

No. SQL Server relies on Windows policy for this, and does no work of
its own.
