Account Lockout Policy

[eman]

I have set the "Account Lockout Policy" to 3X but it
locks the account for the specified time period after the
first incorrect attempt. I am at a loss! I've tried
resetting the policy but it still defaults back to a
lockout after 1 try. Any ideal on how to correct this?

Are you at SP1? If not, get there and then see.
1 bad login try and locked when policy says you have
3 allowed bad attempts within the threshold time ?
What are the thresholds ?

--=20
Roger=20

I'm currently using XP Pro on sp1. I'm up to date on all
the critical security patches. That is correct, 1 bad
login attempt and the account is locked, even with
thershold set to 3 bad attempts. The thresholds are as
follows:
Acct lockout duration = 2 min
Account lockout thershold = 3 invalid login attempts
Reset acct lockout counter after = 2 min

Also, what I noticed was that if I use Remote Desktop to
that machine it lets me attempt as many times as I like
without locking me out. Thank you for your quick
responce, and your assistance is greatly appericated.
