I have Windows 2000 user who account keeps getting locked out after changing password. Its not because of latency in the network or synchronization issues.

This happens when a user has logged onto more that one PC and then changing their passwordand having logged out of the others. Is there a way to see these sessions and close them?? other than from the shares sessions in shared folders??

You could also modify the policy, if possible, to be a little more forgiving. What about trying to apply a GPO that doesn't allow the user to logon to more than one machine?

This is cause by w2k when you change your password. It does not change the cache on the local pc. You will need to logout and log back on. Service pack 1 fixes this problem.

You could enable auditing regarding logon to see where the user is logged on as well as when. But this might involve a little searching, but the answer will be there.
