I setup the "Account Lockout Policy" under computer configuration and at the default domain level. I did a report and see the policy in place but it isn't actually working. I tested this in a test domain environment and it worked fine. Am I missing something????

I have a few Test IDs in our domain. I tried locking the acct out and it wouldnt lock out at all.

Anything else I can try. I even went from 7 bad attempts to 5 and no go.

One other thing to note on the default domain policy -

Enforce = no
Link Enabled = Yes

Does the enforce have to be Yes?
