Hi!,

we are working at the folowing problem:
In our domain(win2000server, AD) there are some problems with users
accounts beeing locked repeatedly. Even a few times a week. We are
looking at the following things:
- Drive mapping on logon, maybe windows maps drives bofor logon with
wrong
credentials
- bootlog, if there are some irregularities
- Possible Errors in loginscript
- IE advanced settings
- Permissions user accout
- Account setup errors/neglencies

These are the things we asked for at the helpdesk concerning these
users,
to start looking. Maybe anyone has encounterd this problem before and
can
give us a new insight or some ideas,

Thanks in advance,

Alex
 
Try setting up auditing on unsuccessful login attempts. Perhaps someone is
trying to hack those particular accounts.

Exactly, sounds like potential viral activity.
