Property Descriptions

AutoUnlockInterval

Gets and sets the minimum time elapsed before account is automatically re-enabled.

IsWorkGroup

Tests whether or not the domain is actually a workstation that is a member of a workgroup.

LockoutObservationInterval

Gets and sets the time window during which the bad password count is monitored and accumulated to decide if the account needs to be locked out. For example, if the number of bad password attempts on an account exceed the threshold (Maximum Bad Passwords Allowed) during the specified time period (Lockout Observation Interval) the account will be locked out by setting the appropriate property in the Login Parameter property set.

MinPasswordAge

Gets and sets the minimum password age before allowing the password to be changed.

MinPasswordLength

Gets and sets the minimum number of characters that must be typed in for a password.

MaxBadPasswordsAllowed

Gets and sets the maximum number of bad password logins until the account becomes locked out.
