Hi,
On my DC, in Domain Security Policy... In Windows
Settings, Security Settings, Account Policies, the
Account Lockout Threshold is set for 5 invalid attempts.
I set this myself about a year ago but never tested it.
Just found out from a user and proved it myself that the
lockout occurs at 3 bad attempts. Am I setting this in
the wrong place? Any help / much appreciated!
Thanks! -=gu=-
