Server 2012 Account Lockout Policy not Working

by jason92s . Updated 9 years ago

I’m setting up a brand new 2012 server for our small (13 user) network.  I modified the default domain policy and set the lockout policy to lock the user out after 3 failed logins.  Then I deleted the lockout policy portion of the GPO and added a new GPO specifying the lockout policy for the OU.  I changed the threshold to 5 attempts and more time for the lockout duration, but my old settings are still applying.  If I check in Powershell it shows my old settings as what’s being used.  BUT, if I run group policy results, it shows the updated settings.  For some reason it sees the old policy even though I deleted it. Any ideas?
