That is not an account lockout message, that is login failure
message, due to name or password.
Are you seeing a lockout message getting recorded ?
If so then the account does exist by that name.
The arguably most commonly seen issue with use of the
Iusr_ and Iwam_ accounts on a DC is that IIS was installed
before the server was promoted to a DC. IIS if to be on a
DC needs to be installed after dcpromo since the promotion
wipes out the local accounts used in the earlier IIS install.

this fixed it!!


C:\Inetpub\AdminScripts>cscript adsutil.vbs set w3svc/anonymoususerpass
"whatever password" ß------ For IUSR_ Account

C:\Inetpub\AdminScripts>cscript adsutil.vbs set w3svc/wamuserpass
"whatever password" ß----- For IWAM_ Account

C:\Inetpub\AdminScripts>cscript.exe synciwam.vbs -v

C:\Inetpub\AdminScripts>iisreset
