Local accounts being locked out

[Tom]

Hi,

My GP has password requirements and passwrord change
every 60 days enforced. Local accounts on windows 2000 Pro
workstations are getting locked out. Does anyone know why
this is happening?

Thanks,

Tom

You did not mention if you have account lockout policies configured. Have
you?

You might also want to read following MSKB article as it may be relevant:

Excellent site for understanding why account lockouts occur, what Microsoft
recommends for account lockouts settings, and how to troubleshoot account
lockouts when they occur.
