Account lockout information can be retrieved from the PDC emulator DC as it is responsible for processing lockouts. Windows security logs go a long way to resolving account lockouts, however extracting account lockout information from Windows Security Logs is not always a reliable process. If a password is set to never expire or the account lockout is configured as ‘not to expire,’ the lockout will not happen. MaxPwdAge, lockoutThreshold, lockoutObservationWindow, and lockoutDuration. The following Active Directory attributes determine how many passwords change attempts a user can make in a given period of time:

These user-specified credentials may expire and Windows tasks will continue to use the old credentials. Different tasks can be created with user-specified credentials which can be domain credentials. The Windows task scheduler requires credentials to run a task whether the user is logged in or not. The credentials for these user-specified accounts may expire and Windows services will continue using the old, expired credentials leading to account lockouts. Windows services can be configured to use user-specified accounts. Windows Services using expired credentials: If the user’s credentials are expired and are not updated in the applications, the account will be locked.Ĥ. On the user’s system, there may be several applications that either cache the users’ credentials or explicitly define them in their configuration. These other computers may have applications that are using old, cached credentials which may result in locked accounts. As a result, a user can be logged on to more than one computer simultaneously. Some users are required to work on multiple computers. The credentials may also expire, which will lead to account lockouts. Afterward, the user may change the password without updating the credentials in the mapped drive. Mapped drives can be configured to use user-specified credentials to connect to a shared resource.
