Domain account continues to lock

• The referenced account is currently locked and cannot be logged on to. How to unlock it?

  This is the error I get when I enter the correct password also. I have Windows VISTA and I have a set a local policy for the account lockout threshold. My friend wanted to break my password without knowing it. It is not a domain account. Mine is an independent home PC. There is a single account that is my account. I tried in safe mode (even with the command line too), but even then I get the login screen & tell me to enter the password. If I enter the password, it says "the referenced account is currently locked and cannot be saved in. There is no fingerprint reader in mine either. So how I now access my account & see my Office I couldn't since 4 days now! Suggestions, please WELCOME!

  Next time consider that to have a friend who does not really know what there mess in this connection with your computer isn't a good thing. Nor is defining an account lockout policy without knowing what you do or creating an additional administrative account so hot either.

  The faster and easier to solve this problem is to enable (disabled by default) built-in Administrator account and set a null (blank) password. Allowing this account will put an icon for it on the logon screen so that you can then you connect, make an emergency administrator account (call it something like 'CompAdmin' or 'Tech' or other), change the passwords of other accounts, etc.. When you are finished, log on the built-in Administrator and in the "CompAdmin" account and disable the administrator built-in again if you want this additional security (recommended). Leave the account "CompAdmin" rise and future emergency situations given that the account for your daily work must be a Standard account. See the end of this post for general information on configuring user accounts in Vista.

  http://home.eunet.no/~pnordahl/ntpasswd/

  Download CD (.iso) image and burn as an image, not as data. You will need a third party burning software. Then boot with the CD that you created and follow the directions.

  Once all of your changes, on the account of CompAdmin disable the administrator account integrated yet for security reasons:

  Start Orb > Search box > type: cmd
  When cmd appears in the above results, right-click and choose "Run as Administrator" [OK]. Now, you will get the command prompt. At the command prompt, type:

  NET user administrator / active: No. [Enter]

  General information of user accounts *.

  You absolutely don't want to have only one user account. As XP and all the other modern operating systems, Vista is an OS multi-user with system built-in accounts such as administrator, by default, all users and guest. These accounts should be left alone because they are part of the structure of the operating system.

  In particular, you do not want one account user with administrative privileges on Vista because the administrator account integrated (normally only used in emergencies) is disabled by default. If you use as an administrator for your daily work, and this account is corrupt, things will be difficult. It is not impossible to activate the built-in administrator to rescue things, but it will take third-party tools and work outside the operating system.

  The user account that is for your daily work must be a Standard user, with the extra administrative user (call it something like 'CompAdmin' or 'Tech' or similar) only it for elevation purposes. After you have created "CompAdmin", connect to it and change your normal user account Standard. Then log on to your regular account.

  If you want to go directly to the desktop and ignore the Welcome screen with the icons of the user accounts, you can do this:

  Start Orb > Search box > type: netplwiz [Enter]
  Click continue (or provide an administrator password) when you are prompted by UAC

  Uncheck "users must enter a user name and password to use this computer". Select a user account to connect automatically by clicking on the account you want to highlight and press OK. Enter the password for this user account (when it exists) when you are prompted. Leave blank if there is no password (null).
  ***

  Doing this requires a certain level of computer skills. You know better and if taking the machine to a competent local computer tech (not a type of BigComputerStore/GeekSquad place) is the best course of action.

• How to configure the Outlook/exchange e-mail to share e-mail with individual domain accounts accounts

  My company has agents working at client locations.  Each customer has their own email.  Now the signs of the agents on Windows by using a local account shared with e-mail configuration to support this particular customer.  Agents are turned in and out a different customer locations.   My goal is to have an individual responsibility, through unique domain accounts, while continuing to support specific e-mail client.   So my question is; How can I configure outlook 2003/Exchange to have a common (based on the physical computer XP) of e-mail account and allow anyone who logs in this computer with a domain account to use the shared e-mail.

• Win7 log in problems: "the referenced account is currently locked and cannot be saved in.

  I've seen a few posts related to this error, but nothing of quite like what I feel... My service company COMPUTER is perplexed and they have tried a bunch of stuff at the end server without result, so want to recreate the image on my computer, I don't want to just cause it's a pain.

  I have 2 computers in my workplace. A desktop and a laptop both running Win7 that connect on the server in domain of companies. I use the same username and password for both, of course.
  The problem is with the laptop. Occasionally when I try to log in, I get a notification "the referenced account is currently locked and cannot be saved in" and I can not connect. However, if I unplug the network cable and try it, it works. If I plug the power cable back in and lock the computer, restart the whatever, I can connect properly. However, after a few hours or days, it does the same thing.
  So I'm not completely locked out of the system. It's really annoying to have to disconnect the network like that.
  It has not always done this... It allows to work very well, but it seems to have just started for no apparent reason. The main difference between laptops and desktop, is that the laptop has Symantec PGP Whole Disk Encryption, while the office is not.
  Any thoughts on what may happen and what can I do about it?

• Can I disable the alert "the referenced account is currently locked...". »

  A client asked me to allow on their domain account lockout threshold.

  I made the appropriate changes in group policy and also set up a notification by e-mail under Task Scheduler that is triggered by event ID 4740 appearing in the security log. http://community.Spiceworks.com/scripts/show/1588-send-email-on-account-lock-out

  It was during the test I noted after the nth wrong password, I got a screen on alert "the referenced account is currently locked and cannot be logged on.

  I tested again with an invalid username and did not get the same message. This is potentially a problem because it means that an attacker can't see a difference between a valid user name and an invalid user name without having to know any correct password.

  Is it possible that I can disable this alert screen so that the attackers are not presented with a way to validate user names?

  I am already aware that locking accounts are more favourable for other reasons the customer is informed of the possibility of an attack denial of service which deliberately trigger these locks and took some measures to mitigate the effects.

  However, because an informed decision was filed with stick to the strategy of locking of account I want to be able to mitigate this undesirable if possible another consequence.

• The Windows 8.1, Firefox runs on a local account but not on a domain account

  I just moved to Surface Pro 3 running Windows Pro 8.1. Firefox works correctly when you are connected to a local account. When you are connected to a domain account, Firefox will run *.html documents properly on a disc, but doesn't show any response to any internet orders. I have disabled the firewall for the domain - no change. I changed the domain account for administrator - no change. I have reset Firefox to default setting - no change. I created a new profile - no change. I disabled the hardware accelerator - no change. I've uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox several times - no change, what should I try then help identify the problem.

  I solved the problem. My browser Internet Explorer (IE) has been configured to use a proxy server. Firefox has been set to "Use system proxy settings", but do not have the name of the proxy server. Remove the IE proxy server solves the problem. Maybe Firefox should use "Autodetect proxy for this network settings' as default, Firefox installation setting is not dependent on the settings of IE year / this.

• Get rid of the file belonging to the outdated domain account

  I have a laptop that allows to have a domain account.  The account did not exist on the domain for years (and in fact, I did have access to the area for years).  On the laptop, I finally migrated the content of the domain account obsolete to a local account, then removed the domain account.  However, the domain account also has a large folder tree that resides in the root directory of the C drive.  I used a local administrator account to try to remove the folder hierarchy, but it is not allowed.  I also tried to use the unix 'chown' to Cygwin for change of recursively to the owner of the local administrator, but who also refused.  If not, how can I get rid of this folder?

• Black screen after logging into the domain account

  OK, it's making me nutty and I don't know what to do.

  Configuration: SB Server 2008 running domain controller.  4 client machines connected, 2 XP, 2 running Vista Ultimate SP1.  XP machines work fine (of course).  Vista machines are in the tank.
  Two Vista machines are about 2 weeks with the only changes to the installation of the factory Office, Norton 360 and printer drivers.  Both machines exhibit the same symptoms at the same time:
  (1) after the restart, each machine running Vista for 10 minutes exactly, saying "Please wait...". "before the screen"press Control-Alt-Delete.  Safe Mode boot normally.  Examine the event log, I see entries on running a startup script of some kind that took 600 seconds (10 minutes).  This of course comes from the domain controller.  What is this and how do I get rid of him?
  (2) after finally journaling, tries to connect the domain account ("domain\username") result in a "Welcome" screen... ', followed by a black screen with a mouse cursor which is mobile.  It is a permanent condition.  I let the machine sit overnight and nothing changes.  I get an occasional popup on the black screen of Norton saying it runs background tasks and that's all, so I know the machines are running.  Pressing Ctrl-alt-delete is * not * bring up the Security screen.  It doesn't do anything.
  Note that connect to a * local * account ("machinename\name") works very well.  I have a desktop, icons, everything.  I even connected locally and made a "change user" to a domain account, and now the machine is stuck again to a black screen with mobile mouse.
  Both machines have worked very well for two weeks.  When I reboot safe mode and remove the computer domain, everything works well, probably because I'm just connect to a local account again.
  I did * no. * change to group policy.  The server works with all settings by default wrt updates, etc.  I did not have any mods system to customers other than to join them to the domain.
  I searched online, and I see other people have this problem, but I can't find a definitive solution.  I tried to restart by using the last known good configuration, but I think that the system is of the opinion that the last logon was successful, which is not good.  To return to the last restore Point is not good.  Both machines has stagnated at the same time, which implies a problem across the field.
  Please don't tell me that I have to spend $200 and one day online with technical support to get an answer to this.
  Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

• Windows Easy Transfer cannot log on to your domain account

  I'm moving to Win 7 RC 1 to Win 7 Pro.  Last night, I used WET to move my files, etc to an external USB hard drive.  To date, I did a clean install of Windows 7 Pro and I tried to transfer it to my computer, but refuses to Win 7 Pro with the error code: 'Windows Easy Transfer can't connect to your domain account'?  What is happening with this?  I've never belonged to a field when using RC 1.  How can I get around that?  If I can't get my stuff, I'm screwed.

  Looks I groused too early and celebrated too soon.  When I finally got the command line tool to work, it has been indeed zipping through archive WET.  I could not see at first was that it generated an error in creating file under each extraction, the formidable «double C:\»  " in the path of restoration that has been much discussed elsewhere on this forum.  In desperation, I went back to the wizard to see if could make it work.  I finally made using the wizard to create two new user accounts to receive the archived files!  To say the least, the final solution was contrary to intuition.  On my system from RC1, I haven't had a single account user.  During the clean install of the RTM, I used the same handle and password as before under RC1.  It seemed logical to me that it would be WET looking for; silly me!  In any case, it worked and I'm going through the long chore to install my programs.  I guess "All's well that ends well", but I don't know why it worked.  From a security point of view, it seems that it shouldn't have.  Oh, well...  I guess that MS did not get enough to test our skills of problem solving :-(  I hope my experience and solution is useful to someone.

• Cisco ACS secure 5.3 allowing foreigners on ACS local domain server domain accounts

  All the

  My company has recently acquired another company

  Each company has its own domain and controllers

  The problem:

  Executives of the absorbed company sometimes come to the main site for meetings using their own laptops

  configured for their own areas. This caused problems of authentication wireless with Windows 7 machines.

  The domain account when you connect is forcing the dispatch of the password, the name of domain user and the foreign domain

  The need:
  We need to somehow add foreign domain as the source of authentication on the local ACS authentication attempt with our wireless controllers is allowed.

  Give advice on how this could be achieved.

  Hello Steve,.

  Concerning the behavior that you experience with ACS to be able to authenticate users against the foreign domain is completely expected and you will only be able to authenticate by entering the user name and domain name.

  The only option to join the ACS for a foreign domain is LDAP configuration and in this way, you will be able to join the AEC directly with this area, however, there are several limitations on the supported protocols when you use LDAP as you can see from the following link, then you want to see if he would be available as an option for you or not depending on the Protocol that you use (which I suppose is it PEAP / MSchapv2) as you mentioned that users will type the identifying information, so it does it does not for you):

• The referenced account is currently locked and cannot be saved in

  Hello

  About three days ago, I am entered the wrong password into my computer and received the error message, "the referenced account is currently locked and cannot be saved to." I let the computer turned on for a long time see if this resets eventually, but I get the same error message. There are no other accounts on the computer and I do not currently have a password reset disk or the Windows 7 installation CD. I tried to access the system settings to turn off the need for a password to log on to the computer and change the date and time system, so the time lock should be reset, but it did not work.
  Any help would be appreciated, especially since if I had reset and reinstall, I would lose a lot of files and programs that I have purchased, which would be expensive to replace. Another friend of mine had a similar situation, but the blocking period was 30 minutes, so I'm not sure what the problem is here.
  Thanks for your help!

  Your running your PC mode at high risk:

  -No disc reset
  -Only one single admin account
  -No backup file
  -No installation media for your applications (and maybe no list of product keys)
  -No CD repair
  Each of these steps takes only a little effort to implement. Without all in place, you are likely to get hurt someday. You can probably fix your current problem as follows:
  -Ask a friend to burn a CD to repair for you.
  -Start the computer with this CD.
  -Use a system restore to set Windows in a week.
  -Revise the list above.
