Three domain controller: one primary and two backup
Member servers (joined same DC) : MServer1, MServer2
All are windows 2000 SP3 servers

I want to set account policy in MServer1 and MServer2:
Account Lockout duration: Not defined (original) --> 30minutes (new)
Account Lockout threshold: 0 (original) --> 5 (new) invalid logon attempts
Reset account lockout counter after: Not defined (original) --> 30minutes
(new)

In MServer, all settings were changed as I expected.
However, for MServer2, in "local policy settings --> account lockout
threshold", the local setting = 5, the effective setting = 0.

In DC, the
"Domain Controoler Security Policy", "Domain Security Policy" and "Local
Security Policy", the effective setting = not defined

I tried to change MServer2 account lockout threshold to 5 in "Local
Sercurity Policy", "MMC-->Group policy" and "MMC-->Security Configuration and
Analysis", but the effective setting is still = 0

How to set account lockout threshold to 5 in MServer2?

For further information
In All DCs, the
"Domain Controoler Security Policy", "Domain Security Policy"
local setting = not defined
effective setting = not defined

In PDC, "local policy" --> account lockout threshold
local setting = 0 invalid logon attempts
effective setting = not defined (WHY ??)

In two BDC, local policy --> account lockout threshold
local setting = 0 invalid logon attempts
effective setting = 0 invalid logon attempts

Thanks
