Re: User Account Locked Out!!

Is the account 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
eventcombMT.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.

Hi All,

I am having a small problem with the one of the user accounts.
This particular user log on to two different PC's one running on XP and
the
other running on 2000.

The problem strats occuring whenever you have to change the password after
42 days(default).Once he changed the password in one m/c, he has been
locked
out to log on to the other m/c(2000).

thanks

mil
