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

Over what time period are these failures occuring?

Are your default settings set to a short grace period?

What is your Reset Account Lockout Counter After setting?

Go through this as well to make sure all settings are set correctly

Run gpupdate on client

Run gpresult see if the policy is applying or not to the users
I confirmed the policy is applying to two of the users
Alright check those settings
