Re: IUSR & IWAM accounts lock out

Hmm - if these accounts are getting locked out, then there must be failed logon attempts somewhere.

Are these accounts local or domain accounts? For local accounts, you can just change the local security policy (and the events will be logged on the IIS server).

If you have IIS installed on a DC, then these accounts will be domain accounts, and the logon failures will be logged on your DCs

Has anyone seen before where the IUSR and IWAM accounts get locked out for no
reason? I had changed my GPO to keep disabled accounts disabled until they
were re-enabled but this just caused by web sites to go down because for some
reason I have not been able to find these two accounts keep getting locked
out. I am auditing account login success/failure and I dont have anything
listed for these two. So far all the logs dont show anything either.

Any thoughts on what could be causing this?

IIS5 & IIS6 systems are both being affected.
