Re: Administrator Account Locking Out

Thanks, what has alerted us to it is the addition of a second Exchange server
to our domain for unified messaging, it will not install properly because it
says the Administrator account is locked out... which led me to this.

The account lockout doesn't appear to be a service, all are seeming to use
the local system account... so I'm still looking.

Hello Ken,

Can occur if you are using the account also for services and did not change
the password also on a service where it is used. By default the administrator
can not really lock out so it will be always unlocked after it is locked.

Hi Everyone,

We have found a developing problem in our mixed mode environment of
Windows 2003 Servers and Windows 2000 servers. On both of my Windows
2000 servers, I can watch using the ALTools from Microsoft,
specifically the lockout status tool, the Administrator account count
up and lock out every few minutes. This does not seem to affect
performance of any of my system dramatically, but I'm concerned why it
is doing this.

I have looked in both the event logs, turned on netlogon logging, etc.
but can find no reason for it. Can someone point me in the correct
direction for finding a log that will show me where the source of the
attempted login is coming from?

Then I can possibly troubleshoot the cause...

Thanks in advance, Ken
