Dump your PDC logs using DumpEVT or similar. Search the log files for the users user name or by the MS Security Event Code. This will give you all of the computer names that his account is trying to be accessed from. So in other words you will locate HIS true machine, plus any machine that may have a script under his account or if someone is trying to brute force his account, etc. Your password policy of 30 days is fine and is not the cause. Most likely it is user disfunction or their is a script/batch file/process trying to use the account and he forgot about it- which still applies to user disfunction.
-----Original Message----- From: Wright, Bill To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 3/26/2003 1:16 PM Subject: Windows 2000 user login I have never posted to this board, so hopefully I'm following the right procedures. My issue is that a user's account keeps getting locked out due to an aggressive password policy (30 days) and he claims that he isn't logged into multiple machines nor is he fat fingering his password. Is anybody aware of a product to find out where or how many Windows 2000 servers or workstations a user is logged into? My thinking is that he's logged into multiple machines under an old password that keeps locking him out.
