Thanks for all the help.....it just happened again.....the user was
logged onto the network, locked her pc and went to lunch....when she
came back she unlocked her pc and was able to continue but when she
opened outlook it asked for username, password and domain.....i checked
her account and saw that she was once again locked out.....

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?
