>>>>> Hi,
>>>>>
>>>>> I've been asked to force our users to use strong passwords with user
>>>>> lockouts after a number of wrong attempts. So I started small and
>>>>> setup a new OU and created a test user in it. I then created a goup
>>>>> policy, associated it to my new OU and set the Account Lockout
>>>>> Threshold to 3, which in turn set the duration and Reset Account
>>>>> Lockout Counter After to 30 minutes. The policy is linked to my OU
>>>>> and I'm filtering on Domain Users.
>>>>>
>>>>> Now when I look at the settings of my group policy it doesn't show my
>>>>> lockout settings and when I login as the test user it doesn't show
>>>>> this policy in GPResults I've done a GPUPDATE but that didn't help.
>>>>> So what am I missing? I suspect it's something obvious but I'm
>>>>> stumped once again.
