The common wisdom from many years ago was to set the lockout.
Now, with so many devices using stored passwords, user's devices are locking out their accounts all the time. Given the cost in lost productivity, etc... the message I've been getting is to NOT set lockouts in AD, and move users towards using pass phrases as passwords.
If a lockout policy is defined, see if you can set the lockout policy on things like RADIUS servers or other wireless authentication to lockout there one bad password before the Active Directory account locks out. (Then, even if the user can't connect their phone to the wireless network, they can still work from their desktop.)

"I have to let them know ? any suggestions ?" - sure take the suggestions that were given already. Why not take them, what is still unclear? Please help us helping you.
