You may want to separate them to a different OU and set up different GPO =
with Security settings (lock-out, attepmts). The DOMAIN\Administrator =
account does not lock out, ever.
If you "protect" accounts from lock-out, you give more chance to =
brute-force password, is that your intention?
Be more specific on what you want to achieve?
My bet you want to find out the persons who try to hack in, and block =
THEM access.

Actually, even though the account lockout feature exists, we recommend that
you not use it. See my article at

for further explanation.
