Use these settings to enable and disable the account
lockout synchronization.


Note –

For Account Lockout and Unlockout to work correctly, it is recommended that you set the symmetric password policy at both ends. For example, if the password policy at Active Directory signifies a permanent lockout then the same password policy should be set at Directory Server.
