We know that as per GPO policies a Domain account can be locked out upon unsuccessful tries while being on the network and connected to domain.<br />
<br />
But imagine a scenario when a laptop gets stolen... the theif wants to access the data on the laptop... he knows the login... <br />
<br />
currently windows allows unlimited tries to guess user password (if login is known) and doesnot lock the account (as it does while being on the network and connected to domain)<br />
<br />
My question is.....<br />
Is there a way we can lock a user account upon unsuccessful tries (locally)?<br />
is there a third party tool which does that?<br />
<br />
please do reply... as k question ... this is quiete urgent<br />

Windows 2000 is an operating system for use on both client and server computers. It is the successor to Windows NT 4.0, and is the last version of Microsoft Windows to display the "Windows NT" designation. Four editions of Windows 2000 were released (Professional, Server, Advanced Server, and Datacenter Server) that shared a core set of features, including many system utilities such as the Microsoft Management Console. All versions of the operating system support NTFS 3.0, Encrypting File System, as well as basic and dynamic disk storage. The Windows 2000 Server family includes support for Active Directory services, Distributed File System and fault-redundant storage volumes.
