Domain Administrator Account Locked
Posted on 2011-03-07
Greeting,
I have been using MS Account lockout tools to try to determine which client is sending bad password attempts that is locking out the Domain Administrator Account.
i believe i have found the culprit but i do not know how to get it to stop. Any suggestions would be appreciated. here is a section of the log file that has the client information.

It is a Windows XP sp3 box. it it seems to be onlly comming from that box. we shut it off this weekend and the problem went away until this morning when we turned it back on. i have been using the account lockout.dll tool to try to determine what program or service is doiing it. i ihave not been able to stop it.
Thanks.
Thanks.
Maybe something like process monitor/TCPView or one of the sysinternal tools on that box can help you out. Check all the services and passwords on that box.
The nice thing here is that you are close because you have it down to one box
