--my accounts are gettng LOCKED every few seconds--
have two 2003 domain servers - one primary the other not.
earlier today i was asked to apply for the second time (first time wasnt successful, policy just worked on local accounts etc) an account lock out policyt and password complexity policy. i used the Domain security policy and Domain controller security policy (wasnt sure which one would apply to the domain - yes it isnt so clear to me).
soon after, my SQL server (using windows auth) jobs started fialing and users called in to complain. this is a few hours later and i still cant reset everything.
I think the domain user DB gone corrupt? i chencged the domain and controler policies back to none / disabled etc and it is still locking (ACCOUNT LOCKED is checked) my users with high frequency. i also tried do not inherit in the domain global settings that didnt help.
i wrote a quick bat file to unlock the primary SQL users so the jobs keep run [net user userloginname /active:yes]but the domain admin in charge of running the schedule taks also gets locked. its a mess.
any advice can help.
i dont know how to use vbs etc but willing to do anything to fix this.
