My Password Keeps getting Locked

 

In my Active Directory My Password Keeps getting locked, How can i troubleshoot ? What could be wrong ?

After 5 unsuccessful login users account will be locked. Usually these incidents resolved by service desk team. Incase the same account is repeatedly locking out then incident will be transferred to Directory services to check the caller machine (computer name) causing account lockout. There so many ways to find out the lockout status. In my LAB environment I am using change auditor. The console is installed in Test Server.

 

1.1.1 Steps to know the status of account lockout:

Open Change Auditor client in Test Server

1.     As per below screen shot go to shared –Built-in-All Events. In Right had side you will get all the events. Copy the “All Account Lockout Events” paste it to private search folder so that the searches we are doing will be only in our profile.

 

2.     Now go private search folder  and hit on “All account Lockout Events”.

3.     By default change auditor will open 7days account lock out users data. We can use tabs to filter the data. Tabs  are very much self explanative. Eg: Who,What,when

4.     After receiving the search results it will show where and when account is locked out.
