Hi, is it possible for when a user fails to login to the system that they have to wait X seconds before being able to try again?
It would cut down on the number of hack attacks I'm sure.

Thanks,
Kevin

You can specify - somewhere - the option to lock the account out after 'x' failed login attempts.

You can specify account lockout threshold for number of x invalid logon attempts in account lockout policy in local security policy settings.
