A user where I work has a desktop and a laptop that is only used when he is in the field ( which is not that often). The laptop is equipped with a wireless card so he can access email within our main building while in meetings. He logged into his desktop and then logged into the laptop. Each time he attempted to logon to the laptop he was prompted with invalid password. After 3 attempts the message stated his account had been locked out. He logged off the desktop and then received the same message on the desktop after trying to login.
I checked his AD sccount and the Account lockout was checked. I unlocked the account but when he tried it again the account locked only after one attempt. I reset his password and we waited about 30 mins to let active directory replicate and it finally let him logon to the network from both machines. Are user credentials stored in the use profile or some place else? How come the account was being locked out after only one attempt ?
