To configure Group policy so that after 5 invalid logon attempts computer display an error message indicating that the account is locked out for 30 minutes

Original title: function or Vulneralbility? [Lock Group Policy]

Hello world

I have Windows XP Service Pack 3 with automatic updates turned on and the protection in real time against malware.

I use Group Policy to configure for my computer account lockout policy, indicating that the account is locked by 30 minutes after 5 invalid connection attempts. I also use the TweakUI Autologon feature. (you can ask why the account lockout is necessary when automatic login is turned on?) Hold on...). Please also note that the feature of quick change of user on my PC is off, too. (but I still use the Welcome screen)

So, when I have already connected, press Win + L to lock my workstation. Now, I begin to grasp things at random to be used as password. So that after a few failed attempts, the system displays: "cannot open a session because your account is locked. Please contact administrator.

However, when I entered the correct password now, the system will always connect.

I don't know if this is a feature of Microsoft Windows or a vulneralbility.

More information: my computer is NOT a part of a domain, it belongs to the "MSHOME" workgroup and has file and printer sharing.

Any help is appreciated.
