Account lockouts

[Pauly]

Since upgrading our servers from NT4 to W2K AD nearly 4
months ago, we have experienced some of our 9x users
getting locked out when trying to access network shares.
We are using DHCP for DNS resolution and have 2 DCs. We
have confirmed correct network settings on the clients,
appropriate user account group membership for share
access, and have applied the AD client to the problem
user's machines, but this has not resolved the problem.

The problem does not occur with any of our NT, 2K, or XP
clients.

Has anyone else experienced this issue or can anyone
offer any suggestions?

Much thanks, Pauly

See if 317796 and/or 272594 help....

Thanks, lanwench, for the kb references. I don't believe
we had seen those articles. 272594 referred to 278558
which actually describes our issue very well. While
working with MS support on another issue, we asked about
this one and the support tech ended up referring us to
278558 and the UPDATED Directory Services client (we had
already tried the original one included in the Win2k
Support tools). We have applied this new DS Client to
our problem 98 machines and have not had any lockout
problems on those boxes in 10 days or so.

Thanks again!
