The Solution Rating System

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 Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • 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.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

MICROSOFT_AUTHENTICATION_PACKAGE_V1_0 locks Windows 2003 Active Directory account - 0xC0000234

Asked by PMRS in Active Directory, Windows 2003 Server

Tags: event ID - 680 0xC0000234

After resetting a user password through user manager, the account consistently gets locked every few seconds.  

Environment: Windows 2003 SP2 (two active directory servers)

Troubleshooting steps:
Unlock Account...
Reset PW
Removed from all groups   User was a domain admin (by design)
Turned off all users workstations
Turned on enhanced AD logging and get the Event ID: 680
Checked for errant network shares
Disabled/Re-enabled the account - When account is disabled MICROSOFT_AUTHENTICATION_PACKAGE_V1_0 still attempts and gets a failure audit
Full Virus and Spyware scan
AD sync is working as expected
Checked all backup services and windows services for account in use
Checked services on and rebooted all domain and application servers
With domain controller 1 off, secondary got plagued with the same error.

I can re-enable the account and with Event Log or AccountLockout Status watch the failed attempts get chewed up.  I have been combing Microsoft and the rest of the web.  Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated.
