Hi All I've one problem here and hope someone can help me out. Scenario: End user AD account locked out automatically. We've then delete the account from AD and wait for 2 days, then we re-create the account in AD with same name (example: domain\johnson). I then tried to log in to end user computer with this re-created account but I face "Account locked out" at end user computer. I checked the account in AD but nothing wrong with the account and I manage to log in this account at other computer. Can someone explain and guide how can I solve this?

What if you log in as a local admin and blow out the profile for that user account? Do that by Right Clicking Computer-->Properties-->Advanced System Settings-->User Profiles and delete the one you want. Do a reboot and try again. If that doesn't work try knocking the machine off the domain and putting it back on againPLEASE MARK ANY ANSWERS TO HELP OTHERS Blog: rorymon.com Twitter: @Rorymon

Hi Rorymon Thanks for your advise and I manage to login with the re-created account after re-join domain. and now I found that this re-created account will be auto locked out after 1 minutes. Are there any tools/programs that I can trace which devices/apps that cause this account to be locked out? I checked on LockOutStatus but this only show me from this domain the account locked out. Any idea. Please advise.

Hi , Try to remove the previous password cache which may be used by some applications and therefore cause the account lockout problem. 1. Click Start, click Run, type "control userpasswords2" (without the quotation marks), and then click OK. 2. Click the Advanced tab. 3. Click the "Manage Password" button. 4. Check to see if these domain account's passwords are cached. If so, remove them. 5. Check if the problem has been resolved now.
