As we are an international organisation we frequently have people
changing keyboards, regional settings et al... We had to revert to group
policies to deny access to regional settings.  This does mean that your
helpdesk has to rush out for every tiny detail, and that you have to be
carefull when deploying ghosts to new machines for the default keyboard
settings...

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
