Account Lockout

S

Steve

I am having a problem with clients getting locked out
after just 1 failed attempt logging onto Exchange 2000.
(Outlook) I have the threshold set to 5 failed attempts
before locking account. I have 2 domain controllers, 1
houses Exchange 2k, the account is getting locked on the
first controller (not the one with exch srvr) any ideas ?
so I assume it is with active directory causing this
issue?

Thanks !
Steve

Never mind, i fixed it, the threshold was at 5, increased
to 10 per "account lock out bible "

FYI, a good site for account lockout information (troubleshooting and
tools) is the following:
