Account lockout option is grayed out

[Guest mikee]

We have a w2k3 domain. When we look at the account tab of a users account its

"account is locked out box" is grayed out. How can i have that enabled all of

the time for all of my user accounts even though they aren't locked out? I am

the domain admin.

The option is greyed out because only the system can lockout an account.

Even a Domain Admin cannot lockout an account (except by attempting to logon

with bad credentials repeatedly). You should disable the account instead.
