Since we migrated from windows NT 4 to Windows 2003 we have som problems with accounts.

Accounts lockout at random intervals.. people how have worked for weeks don't have any problem. they log off and logon and the account says "locked Out". Our security policy says that after 3 attempts the account will be locked out.

Does anyone have the same problem our knows about it? In Windows NT 4 we never had that problem.

Thanks all
 
Sounds like someone forgot their password or is trying to hack in to someone's account. Take a peek at the event log on their desktop. The security log may show a few things or two.

 
Thanks for your idea. If it was just 1 or 2 from the same branche office, it would be easy. but it happens almost to everybody.

i'm more looking at the fact it's a migration error..
