In a Windows environment, which of the following conditions in the password policy defines the number of incorrect logon attempts permitted before the account is locked out?
  1. Account lockout duration
  2. Number of attempts
  3. Password expiration
  4. Account lockout threshold
Explanation
Answer: D - Account lockout threshold defines the number of incorrect logon attempts permitted before an account is locked out.

Key Takeaway: Account lockout duration specifies how many failed logons it will take until the account becomes locked. The range is 1 to 999 logon attempts. An account lockout threshold of 0 means the account will never be locked out, no matter how many failed logons occur. A typical setting followed in a high security environment specifies account lockout threshold of 3 invalid logon attempts.
