Looking for solution for vpxd.exe locking out domain account
The admin account locks out every 30 minutes
The admin in question changed his password when he came back from holidays and in his own words he had vCenter server still open from before he went on holidays.
I asked him had he used it to install any third party\VMware plugins in vCenter. He said this was not the case.
I dont have a remote session with customer so going by their description, financial house so its pretty shut down etc
Confirmed that vCenter Server service hasn't been restarted since this occured.
Would appreciate any advice\workaround concerning this

Thanks Andrew, i will confirm tomorrow which account is used for the vCenter Server service?
He has given information of account lockout and logon type interactive with time stamp etc. he supplied me with a screenshot which he said their windows team had worked on
Anything outside of the Admin Account Lockout that could cause this to happen?
cheers

vpxd.exe is running as his account, so must be in use.
and if he changed his password, different to what is stored in vpxd.exe, that is what is locking his account.

Thanks Andrew I had tried that kb article on Friday with the user
User didn’t reset the Administrator password in VMware vRealize Operations Manager appliance as he wanted to confirm that this was in fact where the issue was occurring.
User powered down the appliance to confirm – however when it was powered down the account still locked out.
