I know that password policy enforcement like lockout doesn't work on XP with
ADAM, so this may be a symptom of that. Try it on 2003 server and see if
that fixes it.

Yes, it works on Windows Server 2003.

I think that instead of saying that ADAM is supported on XP, Microsoft
should say something like "While ADAM will 'run' on XP for development
purposes, there are enough issues involved with ADAM's operatoin on XP that
you should avoid it if possible."

Thanks though.

I think they do say that some features such as password policy are not
supported. There are definitely a ton of useful things you can do with ADAM
on XP. This just doesn't happen to be one of them. :)

It is often difficult to find the right documentation that tells you exactly
what the limitations are though. Finding documentation on ADAM is harder
than it should be in general.
