Account being locked out

[Brad Martin]

Ok, I've got an account that is being locked out every few minutes and I
can't seem to locate what is causing it to be locked. Is there anything I
can do to find the service or whatever it is that is causing the account to
be locked? I'm running XP on the desktop, our DCs are 2003.

Do you have domain wide logon/off auditing turned on? If so, you might be
able to see in the event viewer 'Security Log' what is happening with that
account.

It sounds like something is attempting to log onto something automatically
(maybe a service??) using that user's username/password combination and
maybe one of the two are incorrect? Worst case a hacker is running brute
force program against that users profile!

Also, what is your domain account lockout #tries set to?

I'm having lockout problems as well, but not the same as yours...
