Re: User getting "Account is Locked Out" for 2 days



In news:gfs6d2p11kbj92v7fnodt206dfpqef2rjs@xxxxxxx,
jaredea <blah@xxxxxxxx> typed:
I have a user that just started coming to me with his account being
locked out. While waiting for me to get to him yesterday it must have
passed the grace period and allowed him to log in, but today he has
the same problem...he goes to log in and gets a message about his
account being locked...then he waits and if he can log in he can't do
anything on the network.

I brought his computer to my office and have been trying to figure out
what is going on...i have gone into his account and unchecked the
"account is locked out" box and then logged in as him. It will go
thorugh the synchronizing and open a few things, but a message will
pop-up saying it "could not reconnect all network drives" and if i
try to go to a shared drive I get a message asking for a password and
then it will say:

"Logon Unsucessful - The username you typed is the same as the
username you logged in with. That user name has already been tried. A
domain controller cannot be found to verify that user name."

Then i'll look at his account properties at that point and the
"Account is locked out" is checked again.

I am not typing his password incorrectly when logging in. I've tried
changing the password to see if this helps. Please advise...

Disable account lockout - it's bad news.
