Have you confirmed that the user is not logged on to another computer
besides the one at her desk?

Subject: Account lock outs

Hi,

I have an account in a domain that keeps getting locked out every couple
of hours.  The group policy for the domain says lock out the account
after
5 failed logon attempts.  Of course this person is just sitting at her
desk.  In her event logs I noticed that routinely she gets the message
security settings in the group policy object applied successfully
(paraphrasing there).  I'm not sure if it is after the application of
this
policy that she gets locked out.  For testing, I bumped up the failed
login attempts to 20 and she wasn't locked out this morning.

Is there anythingelse aside from failed login attempts that can lock out
and account?  Is this a strong indicator that someone might be trying to
figure out her password or is that just paranoia talking?  It only
started
happening this past week.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

John
