Re: Account keeps locking out

half of what you mention should not be necessary when deleting a user's
local profile on a workstation (the advised action). However...

Log onto the PC as this user. Control Panel, User Accounts, Advanced, Manage
Passwords. I'm guessing that at some time before the password was changed
they got prompted for a password when accessing a network resource. In
supplying the password they have told the dialogue to 'remember password'.
Solution is to tell users 'DO NOT let the PC 'remember password', that is
_your_ responsibility'.

(YES, in a perfect world, run by me, no-one would have the ability to let a
system remember their password. :-))

No not working, locked out an hour after I posted. Still a problem.

As far as deleting a user profile is concerned, if you are talikng about
on
the server, it means exporting the email and settings and reimporting, if
you
are talking about the cleint then it means that all the documents have to
be
backed up, all the application settings backed up, then deleting the user
profile, and recreating it, having to reinstall the software that was
specific to that profile, redoing the user settings redoing the
application
settings, reseting up printers and scanners, etc, unless you know a
quicker
method, if so please enlighten me

to
go there.

I f I login as another user it works fine, deleting the profile is going
to
be a highly painful process, requiring hours of reinstallation, I am
not
happy with that as a first option.

That said since I unmapped the printer it seems fine, ran for a few
hours
and hen I remapped the printer and the drives, I wait to see.

What happens when you log into that laptop as the domain admin? Any
problems? If not, delete the user's profile and then have the user log
back
in and see if that fixes the issue.

I have a problem with an account that keeps locking out. About 2
weeks
ago
the user was asked to change his password, which he did. About 2
days
later
the server kept on locking him out.

Here is the setup:

Server:
Microsoft Windows [Version 5.2.3790]
Small Business Server 2003 (not R2)
Special consideration for user: does not have default email address
as
the
domain default, since he does not receive email on that address, or
send
it.

Client:
XP Professional SP2 (updated)
Logs on to the domain not local machine


Items tried so far:
- Outlook is running RPC. Have stopped the client conencting to
email
at
all. Even though has not run Outlook for 3 days - still getting
locked
out
- User uses Active Sync to Exchange server from Windows Mobile
device,
have
turned synchronization to manual - still getting locked out
- Disconneted all mapped drives to the server - still getting
locked
out
- Client accesses the internet via the server, not using firewall
client,
as
only uses FTP and HTTP via the client, client is still surfing only
- Client access the printer from the server, direct mapping to HP
network
printer prints, when locked out the share to the server does not
work,
have
disconnected share NOW, so no comment
- I have changed the password on the client and the server twice, no
luck
- If I leave the laptop disconnected from the network no lockout
occurs.
Then when I log into the server using the laptop all works fine, and
about
30
mins after logging in lockout occurs. (with out launching outlook)
