Re: ID Monitoring??
I seem to recall seeing something similar a while back. The memories are somewhat hazy but I think it was trying to connect itself to some program that automatically logged in - happened after user had changed his password. The old password kept being used for the login attempts so once it reached three, ka-boom! (I'm thinking it might have been connected with either oracle -gotta love troubleshooting those three tier apps - or citrix.) Definitely check the services/drive connections in scripts/autologons to other programs on the machine. Also, I should probably mention the flush local profiles and/or delete/recreate account because it's gotten corrupted somehow options.

I have a user who is constantly getting locked out of his account. He claims that he isn't typing in a bad password 3 times (the lockout number) but that it just suddenly happens. What is the best way to monitor his ID to determine what and when the bad password attempts are happening? In checking through the event logs on the BDC's I don't see anything, or else I'm not recognizing it for what it is. I am in an NT4 domain. We have multiple BDC's. The user is having this problem when they log on locally to the network and also when RASing in. They have 2 machines, a W2K and a Win98 machine that they use. Any help is appreciated.

RE: ID Monitoring??
Is he connecting to network resources and then changing his password? W2K will re-establish network drives at a regular interval using the credentials that were supplied when first connected. If he's changed his password since manually connecting to shares, this can cause a lockout. We've had a few users here having the same problem. Always logout and back in again after a password change to be on the safe side. -Original Message-From: Kelly Borndale [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]Sent: 22 August 2001 13:21To: NT System Admin IssuesSubject: Re: ID Monitoring??

He claims that he isn't, that is one thing he as specifically asked. We have had problems with that in the past also. -Original Message-From: Bryann Thomas [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]Sent: Wednesday, August 22, 2001 10:52 AMTo: NT System Admin IssuesSubject: RE: ID Monitoring??
