Here is a fun one that has been driving me to extremes today:
We have a Windows 2000 Server that has user shares located on it. Last week I mapped everyone's H drive to the new server, and life was good.
Today (Monday, of course...) I have one user (UserA) who cannot access her H drive on the new server, and is getting an error that says "The referenced account is currently locked out and may not be logged on to."
If I log in as a domain admin on her workstation, I can access her folder just fine. If I UserA in at other workstations, it still fails. I know it has something to do with her user account, but I have reset her password, had her shut down and re-login, but nothing works.
I have also double and triple checked the permissions on her folder, even going so far as to allow Everyone full access, but it is still not working.
There is one more twist to this problem - in the finance department (where she works) they frequently share their passwords for some stupid reason (I have warned against this since day one...) This morning one of the other girls (UserB) logged in with UserA's password to print some reports. As it so happens, UserB saw the "Your password will expire in X days, do you want to change it?". UserB said no, finished the login and ran her reports while logged in as UserA. UserB then stayed logged in as UserA for about two hours. Unfortunately, when the REAL UserA got here and logged in, she also got the "Change password?" prompt and DID change her password. From what I can tell, I had UserA logged on at two workstations, with two different passwords, and now nothing I do seems to fix the "Account locked out" issue. Am I just stuck with giving her a brand new login or is there some hope for me?
Thanks!
