Domain user account keeps locking out

Guest

We have a domain user account that gets locked up every 30 minutes or so. We
have deleted and recreated this account (used the same userid) but to no
avail. Appreciate any help. Thanks.

Hi Patrick

Refer to the following document which will assist in tracking down the
issue:

You can get the tools from:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...9C-91F3-4E63-8629-B999ADDE0B9E&displaylang=en

In short, you can use LockoutStatus.exe to find which DC(s) the bad attempts
are being logged against, then enable auditing on this(these) DC(s) and
determine the client machine(s) from which the attempts are originating.
Once you know this, you can go looking at the client(s) in question and try
to identify a user or a process which is responsible. ALockout.dll would be
used on the client to find the process that's responsible.

The whitepaper is a good read and should prove helpful.

Kind regards
