The workstations running XP professional, on our W2K network, lock the
users accounts when the security log is full. Only the Administrator
account is able to log in. This doesn't happen on the workstations
running Windows 2000 pro.

Does any know how I can disable this feature in XP from locking out
when the log is full. I'm really not sure if this is a feature or a
bug, because I've checked the security policies and referenced some
books but can't seem to find any info.

Thanks
