How to exclude ADAM user from AD domain lockout policy??Is there any way to exclude individual ADAM user class accounts from the AD
domain account lockout policy? Can this be accomplished on a per user basis or would we need to exclude the ADAM server from the Active Directory domain group policy? Thanks, Jim Hi
AFAIK the only component of password policy that can be suspended per user is account expiry (msDS-UserDontExpirePassword, very useful if you have long-lived service accounts for which you can set complex passwords). Beyond that you can exclude the ADAM instance from all password policy (ADAMDisablePasswordPolicies in the "configurable setting" submenu in dsmgmt). Another possibility is that you set the password policy in the local security policy of the ADAM instance server to the values you want but those will only be used if the server is not getting domain policy.

GPO with a lockout setting of 999 attempts in 1 minute. The GPO is applied after the domain gpo so this resolves our highest priority issue of critical service accounts getting locked out do to admin error. Unfortunately it means all user class accounts effects cannot be locked out in the case of malicious login attempts. We're still looking for a better solution and will post any new findings. Lee - I will take a look at the dsmgmt options as well - thanks.

I had never tried setting the account lockout at the OU as that applies only to local accounts on the computer in the OU right? So you are saying that means ADAM accounts in this case...I'll give it a try. FWIW I have been leaning toward the idea that a dedicated (user) objectclass would be useful for certain roles e.g. native ADAM administrators and some service accounts.

the OU level does the trick I would not be too worried about the lack of lockout for other accounts as deliberately locking out the accounts as a DOS attack is probably just as bad and if you are logging login failures in your security policy these attacks should be detectable. Having a good password complexity/history regime would mitigate my concern over lack of lockout further.
