HealthMailbox - Excluding from Account Lockouts

We noticed our HealthMailboxes have been locking out.  Based on a very small handful of sources, this is expected.  Best practice is to exclude HealthMailboxes from account lockout policies.

(source 1:  'Common Issues' section)

(source 2:  'Best Practices' section)

Question is, how many of you are doing this, and is it necessary?

At the moment, it seems like the only way to achieve this is through using a fine-grain password policy.

I suppose I'm reaching out to make sure I'm on the right track or not...

Thanks in advance!

Thanks!  I created the PSO in ADSI Edit and then ran:

Get-ADUser -Filter * -SearchBase "CN=Monitoring Mailboxes,CN=Microsoft Exchange System Objects,DC=xxx,DC=com" | Add-ADFineGrainedPasswordPolicySubject HealthMailboxExclude
