Yes I have reset the password for the particular user account couple of
days
ago using ADUC,since then he can log on to either XP or 2000,whichever he
logs on first.

Just make sure any services or accounts have the password changed

The account is running on two different m/c's(one is a XP and the other
2000).
Let me run the tool(eventcombMT.exe).
I am assuming the lock out is caused by nework mapped drive.
Once I ran this tool how can I solve this issue cause this user has to
run
his profile
on these 2 m/c's ?

Is the account logged into more than one machine or is it running a

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
