Hey

For limiting the number of allowed logon attempts through
Remote Access in Windows 20000 RRAS it is possible to set
the following registry keys in
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/CurrentControlSet/Services/Remote
Access/Parameters/AccountLockout

MaxDenials is the number of allowed failed logons before
the account is locked out.

ResetTime(mins) is the time before the counter is reset.

For instance a MaxDenials value of 5
and a ResetTime(mins) value of b40 will allow
only 5 failed logons in 48 hours (2280 mins).

Note that the account remains locked until it is unlocked
by an adminstrator if you use this feature, as it is
separate from the account lockout policy of Windows 2000.

Regards
