I installed Virtual pc on a windows xp. Windows server 2003 is running in that virtual pc (main host system has windows xp...virtual machine has windows server 2003). Virtual pc's local administrator's account disables every day. I hope you understand, if not please let me know. Thanks.

Hello, if an account disables automatically it belongs often to a service/application, that use this account but with a wrong password. ANother option is that Conficker Virus is resulting in account lockouts: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/962007 Best regards Meinolf Weber Disclaimer: This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties or guarantees , and confers no rights.

Hello, what about my other suggestion "if an account disables automatically it belongs often to a service/application, that use this account but with a wrong password."? You can also use the account lockout tools: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc738772(WS.10).aspx http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=7AF2E69C-91F3-4E63-8629-B999ADDE0B9E&displaylang=enBest regards Meinolf Weber Disclaimer: This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties or guarantees , and confers no rights.
