When I try to change the amount of bad logon attempts it takes to lock an account out on certain accounts, it enters the amount on all accounts in my domain. Is there a way around this?
 
Are you saying ... that if you try loging in on "TOM" and get a bad logon, then try "BOB" and get a bad logon, your system says there are 2 attempted logons that were unsuccessful? So it is an overall tally and not a individual tally per user.
 
I can go into the properties of a specific users account and set it, but it sets it on all the accounts. For example, lets say i wanted john smith to only be able to have 2 bad logons before he was locked out but everyone else to have 3, when i set it in his specific account, it sets everyone else's account to lockout after 2 bad attempts also.
