Hello,
I have a windows 2003 server with AD managing about 150 users. I have set up 3 user OUs and 4 computer OUs. Under computer OU I have linked a GPO and in the GPO under Computer Configuration\windows settings\security settings\account policies\account lockout policy I have set the settings as follows:
Account Lockout Duration: 30min
Account Lockout Threshold: 3 invalid attempts
Reset Account lockout counter after: 30min
I have forced the policy and rebooted a few machines. I have created a test account and logged in with an incorrect password more than 3 times to a machine that is in the computer OU, but the test account never locks and the computer never prompts me that the account has been locked out. All other policies that are set in this GPO are applying, but the Account Lockout policy does not work. Can anyone please help with this issue?
