This test checks the setting for policy 'Account lockout duration' on Windows hosts (at least Windows 7). The policy setting determines the number of minutes that a locked-out account remains locked out before automatically becoming unlocked. The available range is from 1 to 99,999 minutes. A value of 0 specifies that the account will be locked out until an administrator explicitly unlocks it
