One User cannot login even after AD password reset
Hi
I am struggling with this. I have one user who cannot login and only receives the username or password is incorrect. The worrying thing is I too can't login to OWA as him from outside the network or another PC.
I can't see any issues in event viewer that would suggest AD problems although I also didn't see an Audit Failure event for is login.
I have reset a spare user account and tested that can login and another user account, both of them work normally.
I have tried resetting twice and it still doesn't login with this one user?
Apart from creating him a new user account I am now at a loss?

Is the account locked?

There are various things you need to check or to troubleshoot this issue.
1. Check the location of the new user, it may not be in the deny list of logging on to the server.
2. if the user's credentials are correct then is he able to logon to another server ? so that if he is able to logon to other server it means there is issue with permissions on this server and if not it means there is issue with user.
3. If there is issue with user then check user settings, in his profile logging timings to domain and its membership groups and also check the expiry date of user object.
4. And check all that groups they should have deny permission on that given server.

They might be going overbudget on the throttling policy assigned to their mailbox also. Change the password and only configure access via Outlook (ie don't add accounts to mobile devices). Search the Event Viewer logs for the user's alias to try and find any associated errors. Check IIS logs for throttling events.
use run as dialog box to verify account credentials and connectivity is ok. press & hold sfift key and right click on a program shortcut, provide your credentials which want to check. if success you should be able to login to a new pc using such credential. I guess your AD is ok.
above details just only for your knowledge.
did you reset pwd using ADUC snap in? if yes reset it to old pwd had earlier & try to login again using old credential. if it works use control + alt + delete key board combination to reset pwd after user loged in.
thank you.
