I am running veritas backup exec 8.5 on a NT box. I backup 1 remote server from this server. The account locks at different points when backing up mailboxes on the remote server. I use a spesific account with administrator rights to run the backup but this account locks every morning unforunately I can not pinpoint the exact process that lock the account through the event viewer. The solutions given on the veritas site does not solve the problem. Is there a way to set an account that it does not lock within NT no matter what.

Check that the account dosn't have time restrictions (you check that in user manager). Also make sure that noone (even a service) is trying to use the account with a password that dosn't work that keeps locking out the account, to work around this you can check the box "Password Never Expires".

A fix for this would be to use the administrator acct to complete the backups. NT does not allow the admin acct to get locked out.
