Well I checked the scheduled tasks (as ray suggested) and this particular pc has a task for a backup and a task called Symantec netdetect which is associated with the live update for pcanywhere which is set to run every 5 minutes. I disabled the netdetect task and am waiting to see if it happens again. I don't know why it would need to update every 5 minutes I don't think that the people at symantec at that busy updating pc anywhere. -----Original Message----- From: Farrugia, Paul [mailto:pfarrugia@xxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Wednesday, August 06, 2003 8:11 AM To: windows2000@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [windows2000] Account Lockouts 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?
