Turn on logging for logons and see when and where the user name is beign used.
Eliminate the guess work. It may be a task on another box. I have seen
developers create tasks on servers, change their own password, and not update
the task that runs as them=>lockout.

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?
