Haven't seen this behaviour before. I have a single 2008 R2 domain controller. The 'Default Domain Policy' has the following setup: Account lockout duration: 5 minutes Account lockout threshhold: 10 invalid attempts Reset account lockout counter after:5 minutes The other GPOs (there's only about 4-5) listed in the Group Policy Management tool have NO password settings configured. Thing is, my users (mainly Windows 7 machines) STILL are getting locked out after 3 logon attempts, as opposed to 10. It seems like the settings are not going into effect. Anyone know where to begin looking?
