Hi all.
How can I get an alert when an account gets locked out?
(Need to alert on event ID 644)
Thanks!
Notify of an account locked out?

Hi, you can look for that event ID contains the name of your account. Or you can configure a two state monitor to check the status of the AD account every X minute. I have scripts that do that at my blog, feel free to copy them.

Hi,
As Anders said, you can create a monitor or rule for event log to accomplish it. Navigate to authoring->management packs->monitors to create a unit monitor. In pop up windows, you can choose winodws events-Lsimple event detection->manual reset to define this monitor.
HTH.

Hi.
Thanks for the info.
However, I did create the monitor rule before I posted. Perhaps I created it with the wrong "target"? I have it as showing up in "AD DC & GC Server role (Windows 2003 Server)" assuming that I'd want to see the event ID 644 from the Security log from a DCas a critical error and show me the notification in the [Monitoring] window and (because I have e-mail notifications on for Critical events) I'd get an e-mail as well.
Thanks for any pointers you can provide.

Hi,
You can change the "target" to Windows Server 2003 computer. Then, create a monitor for event ID 644 to see if it works.

Well, I deleted the monitor I made one post up and recreated it and it works now, but not all the time.
I guess I need to play with it a bit more, but I'm on the right track!
Thanks.

I have did it. Made a new monitor and if event 644 is occuring it gives a alert.
But he tells me not Who is locked.. I would like to see in the alert, which user is locked. IS this possible?

Freddie,
There's an option to display information in the monitor alert. In the [Alert Description] box for the alerts properties you need to choose the event description as this has the info you need.
It shows up as $Target/Id$ $Data/Context/EventDescription$
When you get the alert, it will have all of the information that is in the event's "description" field.
