I am having a random account lockout issue with clients on our network. I have a funny feeling that something is not being authenticated and once the DC gets the third unsuccessful request, it locks the account, per our account lockout policy. These clients are usable by a majority of our associates.
Normally, I would think a user was locking it out, but the randomness makes me think otherwise. Could anyone give me some suggestions as to which services and/or clients need authentication? I know ntpclient is one….
I don’t have access to the servers to check the authentication, I need to go through someone else. But if I don’t present a case, they won’t take me seriously. It stinks, but someone’s got to do it. Thanks all for helping me out.
