Windows - Powershell - Configure "Local Group Policy Editor > ... > Account Lockout Policy > Account lockout threshold > invalid logon attempts"

Question

I'm trying to find out a PowerShell Command to Setup the " Anti-Brute-Force-login-attempts " on Windows.

Which is as-is the following manual steps:

1. gpedit.msc ( to open "Local Group Policy Editor" )
2. Local Computer Policy > Computer Configuration > Windows Settings > Security Settings > Account Policies > Account Lockout Policy > Account lockout threshold > invalid logon attempts
3. Set the " invalid logon attempts " to a value, eg 3
4. Done.

Googled a few, didn't find any worked solutions, I hope to have some luck from here.

Thanks in advance.
