How can I set an account lockout policy for the administrator account on rdp?
- by reinier
I'm following this page on security tips for RDP (for my online server):

Now I don't have a special user account for RDP access. Just the administrator can log on. However, I want to make sure that someone can't brute force the password.
I've set the 'account lockout policy' to 3 attempts and a retry after 3 minutes. However, when I connect back with RDP I can still try 5 times before RDP breaks the connection. I can then immediately reconnect and try 5 more times.
Any ideas if there is a lockout policy which also holds true fro the admin?
