I have a new 2003 server/domain with a bunch of existing 2000 workstations.
I've created new accounts under 2003 for my users, added their computers to
the new domain, and everything works fine. So we get in some new computers
with XP. Computer 'A' gets configured and then a new account was created for
the user getting that computer (user1). We started having problems with the
new account getting locked out of the domain. But the user1 acct is only
trying to login once (lockout occurs after 5 attempts). Note that neither the
user account nor the computer has been given to the user yet. The Admin had
not released these. I don't see anything in the event logs indicating that
there had been 5 attempts to log in. So we took out Computer 'B', configured
it, set it up for user1 and it worked fine. Gave it to user1. We set up
Computer 'A' for user2. When we got that computer on line again user1's acct
got locked out. And this happened twice more. Again, I can't find any hints
in the event log. The computer name is unique. Any ideas?

I have been looking at the server's event log. Their are no Failure Audits in
the Security Log for this user.
