Request you to please explain, more on this "the password and account lockout policies are applied by the DCs which use the settings to enforce users do something"

Because Password/Account/Kerbros .. All will be difined on POLICY .. and Policy can be restricted by OU end. Require clarification ?

Re: Exclude Admin account from Account Locked out policy

password and account lockout policies are in the COMPUTER part of a GPO, so
that means that ONLY computers can process those settings. With computers
that means DC/Servers/Clients
When applied by servers/clients then it will affect the local accounts on
those servers or clients
When applied by DCs then it will affect the domain accounts in the AD domain

so when configuring a GPO with the "password and account lockout policies"
settings and linking that GPO to an OU AND if that OU contains computers,
the computer will process the settings and it will affect the accounts on
those computers


the password and account lockout policies settings are processed by the PDC
FSMO which will write the data into attributes on the domain partition. that
replicates to other DCs and those DCs use that information to enforce those
settings on domain user accounts
