Preventing Account Lockout

[Johns Hopkins]

Does anyone know of a way to prevent an OU of user
accounts from being locked out? Our Default Domain Policy
is set to lock out after 5 invalid logon attempts. We
need to prevent an account from being locked out, because
it is a generic account that many users will use. Thanks.

Account lockout is a password policy which is set to a whole domain. To
prevent accounts from locking up set a lockout treshold to a higher value.
This will minimize posibility of account lockout.

You can't, if you have another domain without a lockout policy you could use an account from that domain.
