What about Link Enabled and Enforced? &nbsp;What do these mean and does Enforced need to be set to Yes?<br />
<br />
Also, how can I force these changes to take place immediately? &nbsp;Also there is a Lockout Policy with settings located under Group Policy Objects. &nbsp;What is this for? &nbsp;Do I need to change in both places?<br />

KCTS,

What about Link Enabled and Enforced?  What do these mean and does Enforced need to be set to Yes?

Also, how can I force these changes to take place immediately?  Also there is a Lockout Policy with settings located under Group Policy Objects.  What is this for?  Do I need to change in both places?

I am new to GPO and I would like to know how to change the SBS2003 GPO for Account Lockout. &nbsp;It is currently set to the default values (10 mins / 50 attempts). &nbsp;In MMC, it is not clear to me exactly what setting to modify to make this change. &nbsp;I would like this to apply to all PC's in the domain.<br />
