Active Directory Lockout

by daygo . Updated 16 years, 9 months ago

My AD account has limited admin rights on the network. When starting this job I would log into someone else’s profile, map a network drive with my credentials to do an install or some other administrative task. By not disconnecting that drive within the user’s profile I suffer from a lockouts when my password has been changed.

The problem is that these mapped drives are on MULTIPLE computers. I suffer from AD lockouts once EVERYDAY. If you agree with my theory please tell if there is a silver bullet to fix this problem short of logging into the domain controller and then tracking the source machine that caused the lockout.

Thanks for any help.
