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.

Subject: [windows2000] Account Lockouts


Hello,
 
Does anyone have any ideas as to why users account would lock out for what
looks like no reason at all? 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......
 
 
Thanks in advance
 
Paul.
