One problem is that Windows 2000 will try kerberos authentication, and if
unsuccessful, will then try NTLM authentication.  Each bad password entry
counts as 2 failed attempts.

Hi,

 

Has anyone ever experienced this before?

 

I have two users that have been getting locked out while already logged onto
the network. I also watched another user enter their password incorrectly
just one time and get locked out. Our account policy has a three failed
attempts before lockout rule. They are all on Windows 2000 Pro workstations
and we are using Windows 2000 servers. Thanks in advance for any help.

 

Paul.

 

 

By the way should we be using this list or the Tropicana list?
