https://community.hpe.com/t5/networking/locked-account/m-p/2805681#M318 I have a windows 2000 environment with 3 DC. Problem: When the users have to change password, the users account gets locked out every 30 minutes when he or she tries to access a share or Outlook.(I have too unlock it from AD) I have had the users put in the new password directly in AD using reset password. But same result. <BR /><BR />BR <BR /><BR />Mattias <BR /> Fri, 13 Sep 2002 05:49:43 GMT Mattias Albinsson 2002-09-13T05:49:43Z https://community.hpe.com/t5/networking/locked-account/m-p/2805681#M318 I have a windows 2000 environment with 3 DC.

Cause was the fact that we have a mixed AD W2K and NT4.0 domain. It still occurs now and then.<BR />On the other hand we have users being locked out after a recent password change because of shares and/or session still being active on some servers.<BR />Using event viewer on the AD domain controller I look for event 644 in the category "account management" the machine mentioned there gives almost always a good clue of the reason ....<BR />good luck,<BR />marc<BR /> Mon, 16 Sep 2002 10:07:31 GMT https://community.hpe.com/t5/networking/locked-account/m-p/2805682#M319 Decroos Marc 2002-09-16T10:07:31Z
