I implemented an account lockout policy (5 invalid logons) for the domain's
default policy. I noticed that users account on the domain always lockout. I
enabled auditing for account logon events and object access but no events are
logged when I look at security in event viewer. I decided to set the lockout
policy to 'not defined' but still users lock out. Does my system have a
security issue? How can I check and remedy this. I'm using windows 2000
server SP4 and is also a SQL 2000 server. Thanks for any help.
