I have a issue where a user account is getting locked every 30 secs. Now if I read from Lockout Status Tool it gives me the Original DC. And when i go to the DC I get the log below:--------------------------Event Log from DC----------------------------------------A user account was locked out.Subject:Security ID: SYSTEM Account Name:DC01$Account Domain:mydomainLogon ID:0x3e7Account That Was Locked Out:Security ID:MJN\abcAccount Name:abcAdditional Information:Caller Computer Name:Exch2 (Hub Cas Server)--------------------------Event log from Exchange Server----------------------------------------Further If I read the log from the hub cas server i get the below entryAn account failed to log on.Subject:Security ID: NETWORK SERVICEAccount Name:SBYPRDHCX2$Account Domain:abcLogon ID:0x3e4Logon Type: 3Account For Which Logon Failed:Security ID: NULL SIDAccount Name:abcAccount Domain:Failure Information:Failure Reason:Account locked out.Status: 0xc0000234Sub Status:0x0Process Information:Caller Process ID:0x1674Caller Process Name:D:\E2k7\Bin\EdgeTransport.exeNetwork Information:Workstation Name:Exch2 (Hub Cas Server)Source Network Address:-Source Port:-Detailed Authentication Information:Logon Process:AdvapiAuthentication Package:MICROSOFT_AUTHENTICATION_PACKAGE_V1_0Transited Services:-Package Name (NTLM only):-Key Length:0-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Unable to determine what is the possible cause which is calling the EdgeTransport.exe. Have any one come across this scenario.

Hi there, I keep hearing the Netwris tool is a good tool for Account Lockout. How? All I see from the tool is the account status and where it's locked out (mostly from DC). Other than that, you can't do anything else. The "Examine" function is useless. The tool is just like LockOut Status tool. So, what is good or helpful or help to resolve the Account Lock Out issue? Thank you in advance!Friday, January 20, 2017 12:35 PM
