    By default, AD LDS supports and enforces the password policy settings and account lockout settings that are provided by Windows Server 2008, including the following:

    Minimum age

    Maximum age

    Complexity

    History

    Too many failed logon attempts

    Disabling and enabling of accounts

    If the server on which AD LDS is running belongs to a workgroup, the server's local password policy settings and account lockout settings are implemented. If the server on which AD LDS is running belongs to a domain, the password policy settings and account lockout settings from Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) are implemented

    .
