Re: Recurring account lockouts

Is the user logged into more than one machine or is it running a service on
the same machine? A user could have mapped drives to a resource from one
machine, on a different machine he changes his password and then the first
machine attempts to stay mapped to a drive and the password is no longer
correct and eventually locks the user out. Or after a password is changed a
service is running that attempts to authenticate with an old password.

To help try and track down where the account is getting locked out use
eventcomboMT.exe from the Account Lockout tools found out Microsoft's
website. Use the built in search AccountLockouts and search in the created
text files for the user in question.

I have 4 users that are having theri accounts locked 4 or 5 times a day.
One of the users gets 40960 and 40961 errors. I confirmed my domain
controllers are current with all updates. I want to believe the issue
revolves around the systems but I am not sure. Any ideas?
