Why is the Account Locked Out tick box greyed out in a User's Property even when Policies, Account, No account lockout radio button is ticked ?

If the "No account lockout" feature is turned on, you would EXPECT that the Locked Out box would be gray, since it is disabled. If nothing can lock it out, there is no reason to touch it, right?

If it is gray and checked, you can uncheck it by turning off the No Lockout feature, which will enable the lockout box, uncheck the lockout box, then turn No Lockout back on.

Good luck.
