| Hi guys,
Can Administrator beed locked out after logon failed attempts if I enforce account lockout policy? | |

| Negative. The administrator cannot be locked out. | |

| I think one of the remedies for this is to create another user account that has all the Administrative rights and set the account lockout threshold for it. When the administrator logs on the network she/he should use this account for all administrative purposes instead of the default Administrator account itself.
With the default Administrator account you can either set a very strong password or rename it (again a strong password is recommended).
Using another account for administrative purposes would somehow prevent instruders from accessing your network since the administrator account will no longer the default one, it's a bit harder to guess isn't it. | |

| Thaks for reply..
I prefer rename Administrator Account, create another account with Administrator role won't prevent from hacker...
Other than this, what else can we do to monitor intruder access.... | |

| with larger IT teams on a domain, people will lock out a fake [generic user named administrator] "administrator" account when trying to log onto their local box because the domain is in the drop-down. | |

| From my find out, enable Account logon Events in Local Security Settings to validate or track logon activity...
Am I right, please give a comment...
