User locked out everytime he restarts

[Cheap Scotch Ron]

It shows what category of member you are. Blue is a senior member, red is an administrator and purple is a moderator.............. all the rest are black.



On the other hand it could mean that we have marked your card and the NSA are watching............?

Officially... an old fart, I suppose.. I anxiously await the arrival of my AO AARP Card.

I had a contract with this sorta of situation. The problem with login credentials was caused by both 2000 and 2003 domain controllers. The admin couldn't not understand it either and was replaced. Expensive Microsoft hotline numbers suggested recreating the account onto the new domain. I had to do it for all users. This is the same company that made history with Microsoft to increase the number of cells in Excel because microcrap think you run "cheap" stuff. This was a corporate-wide project to change a simple domain name for 1,000+ machine and multi-users.

He deleted the mapped drives. The day after that, same result. However today he says he wasn't locked out.

I will monitor for the rest of the week , if he gets it again. Ill just recreate on the domain.

Thanks for the feedback.

I just had a user that was locked out and the domain was cached, he could login but kept getting all many of issues with mapped drives, etc. Once the account was reset and he changed his password it was fine.

[Cider]

Thanks,

He still has the same issue though.

He uses backup software on his local PC. Think Norton Ghost and that has a password saved which might cause the lockout, not sure.

Sounds like your client is a power user. It could very well be the backup software brute forcing a share drive. Have you checked his print shares? You know...regedit has remote functionality; Maybe you could take a snapshot of the registry before and after the reset to see\compare what's going on. Have you rebuilt the profile on the local machine?

Is this person the only person effected? if so, watch them like a hawk and document. Remind your luser that "they" must work like the other sheeps.

Remove machine from the domain...

reboot

login with local admin rights...add machine to Domain
(with domain admin user and password)

reboot

This is what I have been trying to say but you missed a step.

After you change domains, it will create 2 account id's with the same username but with an appended domain extension. The problem is probably happening when you backup the profile from the old account onto the new one when you use Microcrap solution. That old "DNA" will be imported into the new account -- lockout. You have to be crazy to have Microcrap automate this... it can't copy 1,000 files over if it encounters 1 error and aborts. Plus when copying profiles with their method, it gives the illusion that the computer crashed.... looks bad to a customer who expects you to fail.

With winblows, you have to reboot after making system changes.

just copy: desktop, bookmarks, my documents, some hidden folders in the user's old profile for software. Manual remap those drive mappings and printers.

Do your corporate apps Phone home or looks into a shared folder for updates? That could happen without the user being aware. Could be your software inventory app needs to be adjusted as well.

[morganlefay]

its not that hard copying a profile over.........and not necessary if roaming profiles are in use.

The only problem I have had is duplicate machine names....easy enough to overcome.

For some reason the machine wasnt proper added to the AD......just really easy to blame MS for what is probably user error.

rant on> Linen0ise...my customers dont expect me to fail.....maybe yours do because of your poor attitude....if you dont like MS....dont run it , support it, or rant on about it...you have a choice....although I have a feeling it always easier to place the blame on MS for every fooking problem in the world.
