I believe when you unlock, the workstation will use cached
authentication unless otherwise specified, so I'm not surprised that she
could unlock.
 
Something or someone is entering her username and an invalid password.
Have you checked for scheduled tasks and what not?

        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?
