Enable account lockouts for invalid password attempts - Win 2003 SBS

Easy question, but couldn't find it on EE or the Internet:  where do you set the number of invalid pw attempts that will lock a user out in Windows 2003 SBS?  Couldn't find it in Active Directory profiles, etc.

Thanks, I found it, but clarification:  Is the threshold the number of invalid attempts in a row or the total for a month or for that particular pw for all time?  Makes a difference how many I assign.  Also, when clicking on the Group Policy Management console, got the following error.  What does this mean?  Thanks.

"The Enterprise Domain Controllers group does not have read access to this GPO.  The Enterprise Domain Controllers group must have read access on all GPOs in the domain in order for Group Policy Modeling to function properly..."
The treshold is in a row.
