no they are not!

"Account lockout duration" means: when the account lockout threshold
has been reached lock the account for the amount of time configured

"Reset account lockout counter after" means: until reaching the
account lockout threshold a DC counts the number of bad login attempts
and increases the count with 1 when a bad attempt occurs. If more than
the value of time configured passes between two bad login attempts the
account lockout counter is reset to 0 (zero)

as you can see.. there is a difference!

Cheers,
