A user account is locking itself evry time the user gets into the network.
The GPO is set to lock an account after 3 bad attempts also if a reset the
password it does the same thing and I cannot open the exchange account of the
user, i get access denied at the first try after resetting the password.

I have 2 domain controllers on my network 1 is running W2000 and the other
is W2003 Stdr.

Any suggestions are welcome.

Thanks
 
User the account lockout tools

Is this user logged into more than one machine? Usually what happens is a
user has mapped drives to a resource from one machine, on a different
machine he changes his password and then the first machine attempts to stay
mapped to a drive and the password is no longer correct and eventually locks
the user out.

To help try and track down where the account is getting locked out use
eventcomboMT.exe from the Account Lockout tools found out Microsoft's
website. Use the built in search AccountLockouts and search in the created
text files for the user in question.

Paul,

Thanks for the info, really got tool to have but here is what is happening;
the user is not logging on any other system.

Any other suggestions.
 
Have you run the eventcombo with the specific search to see what machine is
causing the lockout? This download has multiple scenario's to help you
track down the problem.
