User Accounts Locked Out!

Hi All,

I have this morning put a new IIS 6 server live, since which I am
getting reports that user accounts are being locked out as soon as
they visit the site on the new server (Intranet). We are using
intergrated auth.

I havent fully investigated this yet, just wondering if anyone can
help with this urgent problem?

Thanks!

Re: User Accounts Locked Out!

Firstly you need to enable auditing for unsuccessful logon attempts, and
then determine what/who/where is attempting to logon unsuccessfully.

Cheers

Re: User Accounts Locked Out!

Since the problem of accountX getting locked out does not
happen if accountX does not visit the new site, and does
happen when it does, I would look into what the pages in
the site are doing. IIS itself is not going to lockout an account
that has successfully authenticated to it, so what is the site
doing? Alternatively, are you meaning to say the attempt to
visit the new site, but fail to do so, and get their account
locked out in the process? (domain accounts? what is the
setting for the lockout threshold?)
