Question : Problem: SMS Server locking AD user account

Could somebody help me out ? I have a Microsoft SMS server running SP3 on Server 2003.  I have one user in my domain that is repeatedly being locked out ever hour. This user was the original person that installed SMS but no longer has rights under the security rights folder. I have removed his user account from all collections and advertisements and have gone from top to bottom making sure his account is removed. I know it’s the SMS server doing this as I’ve referenced the security event logs and have found the failure audits that are being called by smsexec.exe.  

Does anyone have any ideas or experience on why SMS is locking this account out ? This is urgent so any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks

Answer : Problem: SMS Server locking AD user account

Hi fireup

You must be using Advanced Security which is why my post above wouldn't work.  Have you checked all the Site Settings for the User Account, especially Client Installation Methods and Connection Accounts, I'm assuming one of these because for the account to be locked out, there has to be an attempt to login, Clien t Installation Methods would certainly do this.

Hope that helps.

Cheers
