2003 account lockout
I am not too savvy in Server 2003, and unfortunately I cannot afford learning it, so I figured I would ask for help.
We're running server 2003 and 5-10 clients with different operating systems ranging from 2000 to XP. everything is good except one computer that occasionally gets locked out from accessing the server. That specific computer is running XP Home.
here is the event log:
"Logon failure
reason: account locked out
user name: abc
Domain: CHICAGO
logon type: 3
logon process: NtLmSsp
authentication package: NTLM
workstation name: CHICAGO
source network address: 10.0.1.33
source port: 0
Thanks in advance!

XP Home is not meant for use in your type of environment.
netman66 is correct, xp home is not meant to be used in a domain environment. if that is the one give you problems, replace at least the OS with XP Pro, you can even upgrade from home to pro, and keep all of your applications and settings.
Good Luck,
Good Luck,
i didnt notice a mention of a domain environment as yet - xp home (whilst a waste of time) will work fine in a client server relationship yes
Would account lockout not suggest domain?
Perhaps not...if there are local user accounts setup in a peer-to-peer environment.
hmm i was thinking local rules that my be applying
could well be wrong - but i assumed no domain as xp home involved

Thank you everyone
here's the thing. before we bought this 2003 server, we used a good old pc as a document server and we would access all the time - never a problem.
another odd thing. there are several other computers that use xp home, yet none of them have any problems accessing or being locked out. this is the only one. I don't think it's a problem with the user account.

Very true Jay... about the CANT part.
If the systems are stand alone, and just using ptp file sharing and printer sharing, make sure that the file sharing permissions on the server allow the user to gain access. (note that XP Home does not support advanced file sharing)
in this case, make sure the permissions set on the shares is has an entry that corresponds to the XP home systems user account, and the passwords match, other then that, try adding the everyone group to the share permissions.

I will try changing the password so they match, and I will let you know in a couple of days if the problem persists.
Thank you everyone for your help

account lockouts occur after invalid password attempts have you got account lockout policies configured?
