GPO

[Guest]

Hi,
I have set up gpos and we are on win2k. A few days back I have set up a new
gpo only for account lockout and there are some mission critical service
accounts, I have added them to a security group and on the new policy I have
denied the policy for the security groups, but it did not help me, the
service accounts are getting locked out. Is there anyway to exclude service
accounts so that the service accounts will not be locked?

No, as mentioned in your other thread, not possible in 2000 or 2003. Create
a separate domain for them.
