Exchange Administrator Account Lockouts every 7 minutes

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.win2000.security (More info?)

Well, I was going to suggest that you start with
Troubleshooting account lockout problems in Windows Server 2003, in Windows
2000, and in Windows NT 4.0
http://support.microsoft.com/defau [...] -us;315585
but I opened it to see if it mentioned the new stuff MS released some
months ago, and I see the KB's content is totally trashed !!!

Anyway the Account Lockout and Management Tools can be obtained at
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads [...] layLang=en

and maybe (don't hold the breath) they will fix the KB in time for you.
