AD accounts not getting locked out properly ID 4771
Hello,
I'm receiving many event ID's for 4771 on several domain controllers where I'm getting the below information with many authentication failures but the user accounts are not getting locked out when the default domain policy is set to lockout after 3 unsuccessful attempts. Any thoughts? Thanks

Check your 'Reset account Lockout Counter After' setting. This determines how many minutes can elapse after each failed attempt. Your 8 attempts per day may be occuring far enough apart not to trigger the lockout.
