He
claims that he isn't, that is one thing he as specifically asked. We have
had problems with that in the past also.
Is
he connecting to network resources and then changing his password? W2K will
re-establish network drives at a regular interval using the credentials that
were supplied when first connected. If he's changed his password since
manually connecting to shares, this can cause a lockout. We've had a few users
here having the same problem. Always logout and back in again after a password
change to be on the safe side.
Why not just change the password to what he thinks he it
is? Is he able to login at all? Are you able to see where the
bad logins are coming from? Could he have possibly installed a service
on the win2k machine using a different password?

Subject: ID Monitoring??
I have a user who is constantly getting locked out of his
account. He
claims that he isn't typing in a bad password 3 times
(the lockout number)
but that it just suddenly happens. What is
the best way to monitor his ID
to determine what and when the bad
password attempts are happening? In
checking through the event
logs on the BDC's I don't see anything, or else
I'm not recognizing it
for what it is.
I am in an NT4 domain. We have multiple
BDC's. The user is having this
problem when they log on locally
to the network and also when RASing in.
They have 2 machines, a W2K and
a Win98 machine that they use.
Any help is
appreciated.
