Does anyone know why this happens? When certain users in
the domain shutdown their account is locked out. I have
serched everywhere in account options and I cannot find
an answer and I cannot correct this problem. Please
help!!!
 
This would not be something that could be fixed by a configuration in account
options. Something is happening on their computers that is using bad credentials -
possibly a logoff script to copy files to a share, or a scheduled task [you could
check for failed tasks]. You might try unplugging their nic cable before they
shutdown to see if problem persists. If it goes away then they are trying to access a
share somewhere. Look in Event Viewer for any clues. Enabling auditing of logon
events for failure on any server that they may be using offering shares and then
looking in the security log in Event Viewer on those servers for failed logons may
help find the problem. --- Steve
