I recently adjusted the lockout time for computers in our organization from 90 minutes to just 10 minutes due to some management directive. Now, after some complaints, we've decided to make exceptions for certain users. I've tried to set up a separate group policy that should only impact this specific group of users, but they're still getting locked out after 10 minutes! I enforced this new rule because the original policy applies to all authenticated users. This is the first time I've dealt with these particular GPM rules—most of my experience has been on the server and network side, and since my coworker left, all this has fallen to me. Any guidance would be really helpful!

You should run `gpresult /h` on the affected machines. This will show you which policies are currently being applied. Also, double-check their OU (Organizational Unit) location to ensure the right policy is in effect, or you can deny the original policy for those specific users in the scope.
I might have found my answer! My test computer has been running longer without locking out. I linked it to the specific groups, which seems to be doing the trick. If it fails, I'll definitely take your advice.
