  • Hi,

    The free tools from Micosoft - Account Lockout and Management tools helps you in troubleshooting locked out accounts.
    LOCKOUTSTATUS.EXE utility in this package help you find the DC (Domain Controller) name where that account is locked out.
    EVENTCOMBMT.EXE utility is a builtin search for searching for ACCOUNT LOCKED OUT events. 

    Checkout the below link for account lockout troubleshooting using native tools (Account Lockout and Management tools, PoweShell, and Repadmin)
    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/4585.account-locked-out-troubleshooting-eventcombmt.aspx

    Also JiJi Account Lockout tool from JiJi Technologies has got nice features in analyzing the account lockout events.

  • Hello,

    You need to check the computer who holds the 172.16.10.100 IP address for suspicious criteria. Account Lockout problems arise from so many reasons but mainly wrong password. Please check the below steps in order to find what is behind the problem:

    • Is there Mapped Drives with wrong password on the PC?
    • Is there any services in services.msc which starts with the account?
    • Are there old passwords stored in Credential Manager of windows?
    • Is there conficker worm in your environment?

    The mentioned notes were the most important ones which you should check. In order to find more information about lockout problems and why they happens refer to below link:

    Regards.

  • Also you can use the Powershell Script.

    Import-Module ActiveDirectory
    Invoke-Command -ComputerName (
    Get-ADDomainController -Filter * |
    select -expand name
    ){
    Get-WinEvent -Logname security -FilterXPath "*[System[EventID=4740
    ➥ and TimeCreated[timediff(@SystemTime) <= 7200000]]
    ➥ and EventData[Data[@Name='TargetUserName']='afuller']]" |
    select TimeCreated,
    @{Label='User Name';Expression={$_.Properties[0].Value}},
    @{Label='Client Name';Expression={$_.Properties[1].Value}}
    }

    select -expand PDCEmulator
    ){
    Get-WinEvent -Logname security -FilterXPath "*[System[EventID=4740
    ➥ and TimeCreated[timediff(@SystemTime) <= 7200000]]
    ➥ and EventData[Data[@Name='TargetUserName']='afuller']]" |
    select TimeCreated,
