Alternatively they could be pressing return after they have entered their username to get to the password section rather than tab. -----Original Message----- From: Jensen, Douglas [mailto:douglas.jensen@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: 25 May 2004 14:24 To: 'windows2000@xxxxxxxxxxxxx' Subject: [windows2000] Re: Account Lockouts Someone is trying to break into your system. If the accounts are locked out, someone is trying those user accounts and entering the incorrect password more then 3 times.

We have a 3 failed attempt policy that will lock users out but some of these users are not even failing once. I have a few users that will log onto their workstations without any problems but Outlook will ask for their login. I have checked the security logs but I can't see anything out of the ordinary......
