Re: multiple account lockouts

Hi Joseph,

Maybe remove cached passwords on the XP client machine (per the thread
below)?

I've been having a weird problem over the last week, and I'm
embarrased to say that I just can't get to the bottom of it.

Every hour or two, my user account gets locked out. To clear it, I
have to log on to SBS 2003 as admin and uncheck the lockout box on my
user account.

The user account is only a member of domain users. I used to have it
set to domain admin a while back, but changed it due to security
concerns.

When I check the SBS 2003 security log, I can see where my logins
failed due to being locked out, but I cannot find any events that
actually cause the lockout. The domain security policy is set to
lockout after 50 invalid login attempts, but no such attempts show up
in the security log.

Can anyone give me some advice about this? I don't even know where to
start.

Thank you.
Joseph
