A tale of two policies?

"Reset account lockout counter
>after" If counter set to 15 minutes and Lockout set to 3
trys, Suzie can try logon twice - wait 15 minutes and try
twice again. Wait 15 minutes and try twice again. 6 trys
in 45 minutes. If she trys 3 times she is locked out.
"Account
>lockout duration" account kicks in.

>What exactly is the difference between the
policy "Account
>lockout duration" and "Reset account lockout counter
>after". It seems from my reading that they do EXACTLY
the
>same thing, i.e. unlock an account after X minutes.
