Nope. In pre-Server 2008 networks there is no way for subsets of domain user
accounts to have different account policies, unless you look to 3rd party
products like SpecOps Password Policy.

Subject: [gptalk] Default Domain Policy and Account Lockout

 

I have Windows 2003 AD and have the account lockout threshold set on the
Default Domain Policy.  I have an account in an OU that I would like to
NEVER get locked out.  Is there any way to make the Default Domain Policy
not effect this user?  I have tried to enable the block policy inheritance
option, but that seems to have no effect.  Any ideas?
