With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution

The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

Account Lockout issue in Win2k Server Active Directory!!

Asked by rosshuts in Windows Network Security

Tags: account, lockout, active, directory

Hi Folks,

Having a major crisis at the moment. We have implemented a new Windows 2k Server domain controller a couple of weeks ago. We have migrated from Winnt and still have a mix of workstations running Win95,98,2k,XP and 2k Terminal Server.

Everything seemed to go well but a few days later I have come across a serious issue that is driving me up the wall and I can't seem to get to the bottom of the issue.

Basically a random account is locking out and when I unlock the user within seconds the account is locked out again. It happens for quite a while and some times it moves around at random to other users in the active directory. Most of the time I re-register the users PC/Laptop onto the network and it solves the problem however I then discover that it moves to the next person in the list. I rebooted the entire network last week after topping up the license manager and it seemed to solve the problem for a couple of days and then I find that it has returned with a vengeance.

I tried rebooting the network again last night as I am starting to get quite desperate and after coming in this morning I find that the problem is still with us. I have been off site for most of the day and have learned that it has made it's way around the list and I am finding the users are starting to get as annoyed as myself.

Can anyone shed any light on the subject or give some pointers. I am vastly becoming behind on my work schedule as I cannot get this issue resolved. It's fair to say that I am starting to get sleepless nights over the problem.

I will welcome any suggestions that anyone might have and will look forward to hearing from you..

Thanks in advance.

Ross.
