Greetings,
We have a Windows 2000 Server SP2 that seems to have some issues. We have a policy set up so that a user's account is locked out after 3 login failures and have auditing turned on to watch these failures.
It seems that if a person mistypes their password 1 time on a Windows 95 machine, we get 3-4 audit failures, thus locking their account. We have also found audit failures to happen at times when the user was not even at their computer. I'm thinking maybe the workstation lost it's connection and was auto-reconnecting and failed. At any rate, every morning we have to unlock several night shift user accounts.
Something else that may be related. When a Windows 95 machine sends a broadcast message to another user or the entire domain, the broadcast message pops up 3-4 times.
I am totally stumped. Does anyone have any ideas?
