Warning before Account Locked Out
Is there a way to get any of alert or warning before user account locked out after a few failed attemps? Let's say that domain password policy sets account will locked out after 5 failed attemps, I like to have some kind of alert or warning after the third or fourth failed attemp. Thanks

I don't think that there is a way to do because when the account is locked a log is placed in Event Viewer. Do you want warning to be disaplyed at user end ?

Thanks for your response SystmProg. Sorry I wasn't clear there. Yes, I would like a warning displayed at the user end, or if possible, an alert message send to administrator when the account is locked out.
No. I found a lot article on Net and they stat that account lockout warnings can not be issued to users except you develop a manual program that will issue the certain warning to users after reaching a certain counter.
Thanks

The event id 644 'Account Management' is logged in the Security log when an account is locked out, is there a way to trigger a script to run when this event id is generated?
