Re: Help in finding account lockout source

Well I found it by sheer luck and coincidence. One of the techs called
me about an DHCP address reservation and as I was poking around the
server config I looked at the Advanced tab and then the credentials
button. Sure enough there was the offending account. I was having
trouble with Dynamic DNS and used this account to troubleshoot and
forgot all about it; sloppy administration. You would have thought
that somewhere in the logs it would have mentioned DHCP. It was also
why sometimes it would take an hour to lock the account (later in the
day) and sometimes it would lock in 5 minutes (in the morning).
Thanks for trying! Hopefully this will help someone.

STEVE!!! You are the Man! Do you realize that what you have
mentioned....Literally no one, no-one on the darn internet, I'm talking
technet, petri, every site out there and no one had this as a solution.
I know because I have been putting up with this for over a year!

This was caused by following Microsoft's Best Practices and changing
the default Admin name. After this was done I would get THOUSANDS of
672 Errors a day. I didn't just put it back because we had an admin
leave and I had to change the password anyway, which as I tested, also
caused this error apart from the name change. Long story short, I just
set aside another 8straight hours today to again tackle this issue and
this was the last article I came across...

Much Thanks!
