Hi all,
Here’s the situation. The owner of the firm username is just his first name (don’t ask me why, it was what he wanted). Although it’s not the preferred way but it has been working. Up until another user brought in his laptop that has the same username (his first name) as the owner of the firm. This causes a conflict because same username but different password. Although the laptop is not part of the domain (on it’s own workgroup), it thinks that the owner of the firm is trying to log on and automatically locks the account up. Is there a way to prevent the account from locking up?
I’ve noticed on regular windows 2000 file server (one that’s not a domain controller), the account does not lock up. There is about 7 or so errors (event 681 and 529) in the security log but that’s about it. Is there a way to change it so that the user can get access to a shared drive on the domain controller with his home laptop without causing the account lock up? Thanks in advance!
