Account lockout problem

[SPD]

Small 48 node win2k workgroup network. Account lockout on Win2k server
because of invalid password from an XP client. Reset the lockout however,
attempts to login with valid password for that account result in subsequent
lockouts on the server. The client can access local resources but not the
server. Repeated reset several times with same results.

From a command prompt;

net use /persistent:no
net use * /delete /y

also check for any services that are run with the user's credentials.

Hi Dave:

Thanks for that response and pardon my ignorance but what exactly will that
accomplish.

 

[Dave Patrick]

net use /persistent:no
turns off any persistent connections.

net use * /delete /y
deletes all mapped drives and or printer connections. (possible stale
credentials causing the lockouts)

48 machines is probably time to move to a domain model.

No success Dave. Easy resolution was to disable the old and create a new
account. It was a shared account and the users had nothing saved on the
server. We just copied over their local files. Thanks for your time.
