It was from Microsoft KB. I'm not finding the article right now, but that's how I figured out what the problem was. I'll continue searching if you want.

We have a similar problem here, and can't find anything in the event logs that pinpoints the problem. It would be easy enough to test by disconnecting drive mappings, but I'd be happier if there was something definitive to verify that the drive mapping is causing the lock out. Thanks. -----Original Message----- From: Christopher Hummert [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, July 18, 2003 9:11 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Windows accounts are getting locked out by themselves This happened to us here. We found out that their drive mapping were still trying to authenticate with the old passwords. So we disconnected them and then recreated the drive mappings.

Funny thing was, all the lockouts were coming from Windows 98 workstations. I could never put my finger on it, and in desperation finally disabled account lockouts. However, invalid password attempts were still being logged in the event view. Shortly after moving the domain over to native mode, the problem all but disappeared. Now that the majority of our desktops are running Win2k, I'll probably re-enable the account lockout policy and monitor the event logs. Strangest thing, and to this day my must frustrating mystery.

In our Windows 2000 Active Directory, we implemented a lockout policy that would lock someone's account after 5 unsuccessful logon attempts. Now we are having a rash of incidents where people's accounts get locked out just like that. The users do not make any unsuccessful logon attempts, they just login normally and then the account is locked. I checked and these users are not running any services or scheduled jobs under their accounts either. What could this be? _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Web Interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?enter=exchange&text_mode=&; lang =english To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Web Interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?enter=exchange&text_mode=&; lang=english To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Web Interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?enter=exchange&text_mode=&; lang =english To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Web Interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?enter=exchange&text_mode=&; lang=english To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Web Interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?enter=exchange&text_mode=&lang=english To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
