I have a domain service account that is used for many thing on the network.
Recently the account keeps lockout and I don't know who create this problem.
I search through Domain event viewer but found no info about the lockout
account.
Is any way that I can find out where the account has been using and who is
using the account?
Thanks,
Khoa.

Re: Replication of password resets/unlocks ... Assuming that the reg key AvoidPDCOnWan isn't set passwords will be sent immediately out of band to the PDC when changed on a local machine. ... I haven't dug into the specifics but I believe that occasionally it will check with the PDC to see if the account has been unlocked but not for every auth attempt, this is so a PDC will not be overwhelmed by attempts to auth a locked account. ... The idea behind auto lockout is to prevent brute force systems from sending thousands of passwords an hour to crack a password, if that is the case, then setting the lockout policy to 25 bad attempts and locking the account out for say 5 minutes is just as good from a security perspective; it will seriously impact the ability for a brute force attack. ... From the usability standpoint, it will only lockout users who have really screwed up with their password and give them just enough time to realize they really screwed up but take less time than a call to the helpdesk for an unlock and replication of the unlock meaning that if they call the helpdesk for a rest, the only mechanism that comes into play is the one in the first paragraph above which works fine. ...
