ALL, We have group policy set to lock account if there are 'n' no of login failure attempts....because of that my account is gettting locked out.....i dont know what is running under my account..how can i trace that?? My account is getting locked out after i change my password...plz help me how to trace it down TIA

Hi, This problem occurs since some programs cache credentials or keep active threads that retain the old credentials, or Stored user names and passwords retain redundant credentials. If only one account keeps getting lock out, please try the following steps on the client side: 1. Run this command: rundll32 keymgr.dll,KRShowKeyMgr 2. Backup the stored credentials using the Backup button. Then, remove them. If the problem continues, we need to enable audit policies and analyze event log to troubleshoot this problem. For more information, please refer to: Troubleshooting Account Lockout http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc773155(WS.10).aspx Account Lockout and Management Tools http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&id=18465 Hope this helps.
