| | does not work to uncheck that box... This is a very nice explanation, BUT: 1. My computer is member in a Domain 2. A user account (local not from domain) is locked out 3. I tried all this and apparently works from local admin account, but in fact it doesn't... cause, next time I look into it is still checked! (even though I unchecked that box (Account is locked out). Could it be because of Domain membership even though the user is local and I do things from the local admin? Is there a solution, so that I can use that account again? Thanks in advance! |

| | Hello Teofil, and welcome to Seven Forums. Yes, the domain settings will override your local setting when you are connected to the domain. It will have to be set that way in the domain by the domain administrator.  |

| | Thank you Brink for the reply. Can you help me with some advice about what to do in the Win server 2008 - which is the AD? Should I go to Active Dir Users and accounts->Computers->that certain station and Disable Account? (or reset Account?)... I am the only one in the office with "knowledge" of administrator and I am a little bit nervous to do things in AD since I do not understand much, but want to learn without harming other processes around. That computer does not need to be in AD... in fact I can add it again after that, but I am nervous. I mean: I only need to make that local account unlocked! The policy, I manage to change from admin local through cmd prompt! (e.g. using cmd prompt: >net accounts lockoutthreshold :15)! it worked even thought was greyed in GUI! Thanks for your help.

| | I'm afraid that I do not know much about Win Server 2008 on this either. You might consider posting a separate thread on this in the "Network & Sharing" forum section to hopefully get a solution for it. |
