We have a Windows 2000 Small Business Server and a member Windows 2000
server we are running terminal services in admin mode on.

For some reason, we are getting account lockout issues. There is no account
lockout "domain security policy" configured on the SBS server nor is there
an account lockout configured under "domain controller security policy".
Also there also isn't an account lockout "local" policy configured on the
Win2K Terminal Server. So, to the best of my knowledge, there isn't ANY
account lockout policy configured anywhere, yet we are getting a lockout
after 3 invalid atempts which is way too low of a value and is causing
issues.

We do have a Group Policy(GP) configured on the terminal server OU
(organization unit) listed under "active directory users and groups" and a
GP defined on the lighlevel domain (ourdomain.local) but NEITHER of these
have account lockout configured!

So, my question is, where the heck is the account lockout coming from? Could
there be a registry setting that did not get changed?

Thanks,

Brad
