Hi Brian
We saw a new version of the Randex about 2 weeks ago that Norton AV was not
yet picking up but managed to lock out about 1800 accounts in the 2 days we
saw it running. The process that was running was gt.exe or wintaskx.exe
We caught the thing by looking for failure audits, and then quarantining
the four systems that all the failures were coming from, then sending the
files to Symantec.

If I hadnât already figured that out, youâd be right J Was helping a
friend at my last job undo the damage already inflicted.
Thanks for all the replies that were supplied â problem solved. Joeâs
solution was the easiest and quickest, thus we used that.

Don't you think that there's a bigger issue that needs to be tackled first?
What is causing this? I'd make sure auditing is turned on for your domains
ecurity policy and start looking at failure records on your DCs.
That aside, ADModify.Net can probably do this.

What is the easiest way to unlock multiple user accounts in Active
Directory? Random accounts locked up today and I need a way to
unlock them without having to go user by user. Is there a tool or
script already written?
Any help would be appreciated.
Robert
