Re: Account Lockout not being applied

Are you setting it in the Default Domain Policy? If not, that is why it isn't working, it can only be set at the domain level currently.

If you are, then it sounds like you may have some replication issues either in your AD or in FRS.

I am having a weird problem. I have set the account lockout threshold

still locking out after 5 invalid attempts. Any help would be greatly
appreciated.
