I have this problem when users will use their network ID to run apps that
require logins. When they change the password on the network ID, the app
will present the old credentials, hence a bad attempt. Drives these
snapperheads crazy.

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?
