There must be a service or something that's trying use that username. Can you try renaming the account and see if it still happens?

I figure most of you want something to do other than work anyways. I've got one user, who has an account in an NT4 domain and is having problems. Their account gets locked out no matter what I do. No one is trying to log into the account (according to the security logs on the DC's), and this happens even with his workstation shut off. On my end I unlock his account, and the next time I go into the properties it's locked out again. No attempts to login show up in the logs. This happens even if I disable the account, the locked out box will be checked next time I go into it. Sometimes there is a delay before the account gets locked out again, maybe 10 seconds or so. If I sync the domain controllers in between checking the account it's always locked out. I figured maybe my DC was funky, I've restarted the net logon process on the BDC and completely restarted the PDC machine. It even happens when I stop the net logon process on the BDC and just leave the PDC running. Any clues? I'm totally lost on this one. :) Thanks, Aaron ----------------------- Aaron Dokey - MIS Reid Tool Supply 2265 Black Creek Rd.
