Can also happen if you have a persistant driver mapped somewhere or using your account for a service and you change password. Careful about using your account to map drives or as service account. -----Original Message----- From: windows2000-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:windows2000-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Wednesday, August 06, 2003 8:19 AM To: windows2000@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [windows2000] Re: Account Lockouts Too funny.....Thanks Ray..... -----Original Message----- From: Costanzo, Ray [mailto:rcostanzo@xxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Wednesday, August 06, 2003 9:11 AM To: windows2000@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [windows2000] Re: Account Lockouts I've seen this when the user has some scheduled tasks trying to run under his account with an old password, or unlikelier (word?) some services. Also, you may watch the user try just once, but perhaps the user had already tried half a dozen times before you saw this and the user lied about it. That's what users do, they lie, cheat, and steal. They'll do anything to get their fix from the helpdesk. Damn users. p.s. I don't think anyone is using the Tropic of Cancer list anymore Ray at work -----Original Message----- From: Farrugia, Paul [mailto:pfarrugia@xxxxxxxxxxxx] 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? ************************************************************************ ********************************** The information contained in this e-mail message is intended only for the personal and confidential use of the recipient(s) named above.
