Determines the number of failed logon attempts that will cause a user account to be locked out by Intruder Detection. A locked out account cannot be used until it is reset by an administrator or the account lockout duration has expired. You can set values between 1 and 999 failed logon attempts, or you can specify that the account will never be locked out by setting the value to 0.By default, this setting is disabled in the Default Domain Group Policy object (GPO) and in the local security policy of workstations and servers.
