Windows 7 user account is automatically locked every so often

Hello,
On Friday I changed the password to access to my user account (Win7 runs below Windows 2008 Operative Server). At short time I changed it, after I have entered in the account with my new password, the account was locked unexplainably. I unlocked it again,
and again at a short time the account was locked again automatically.
I dont know what`s going on.
Anybody knows why happens this?
Thanks with anticipation.
Regards

Hello,
I dont think there is a scheduled task,  at least I am not consciously , ( I have also the role of the netowrk administrator).
Reading other threads I was afraid of Conficker worm has infected the server, but is issue only happens to me from the last Friday, never happened to me before.
I also have searched out, the event viewer of the Server, going to the Security log and filter by ID: 644, but there is no record of locked account showed, it seems that by that part everything is ok.
Is there any other audit application, that can show me where is the problem focused when the account is locked suddenly?
Thanks

  • Query to retrieve windows domain user account

    I am totally new to Oracle. Right now, I have a requirement which needs the windows domain user account and local user accounts to be found and linked to. I ve been searching on google, but no use. Frankly, I have no idea even what I am supposed to do and I am not sure what I wrote here is even framed correct. Please help me out. Thanks a lot.

    Hi,
    I think you've made your first Oracle mistake: think that Oracle is working just the same as MS SQL Server :-)
    First, before trying to do anything, you must read the TFM: Database Concepts(click) in order to begin to understand how Oracle works.
    I'm going to try to explain fast and simple.
    Oracle user accounts are different accounts than OS accounts. That is the first important point to get. A domain user "toto" will not automatically gat an Oracle "toto" account.
    There are 3 types of user authentication:
    . Password: typical authentication, no link between OS account and Oracle account
    . External: User is authentified by the O.S. This means that the DBA has to create a special account that'll be "linked" to the O.S. account (whether it's a local or domain account)
    . Global: The user is authentified by the enterprise directory service.
    You can see these 3 approaches in the SQL Statements: CREATE USER doc(click). So, there is some way to link the Oracle user account to the O.S. user account, but not straight forward!
    I need to verify if my oracle database user account is a windows domain user or not, if he/she is one, then if he/she is a local user account or a global user accountWhen I read this, the closest thing I can think of is the 3 types of authentication. And the info can be found in DBA_USERS (columns USERNAME, EXTERNAL_NAME and PASSWORD - obfuscated of course).
    With these info, maybe can you see why your requirement is a bit strange? Anyway, read the references I linked and come back here with more questions / comments :-)

  • When I moved all my music stored in my Windows 7 user account under the My Music folder  to my PC's 'Public Music' folder, I could no longer add/delete music or movies to my iPhone using iTunes. How do I fix this?

    I have been synching my iPhone with iTunes without problems for a long time.  I also used iTunes to add/change/delete Music & Videos on my iPhone with tuch contents from my iTunes Library. 
    One day, I decided to move all my Music stored on my laptop's Windows 7 User Account under "My Music" to the Windows 7 User "Public"  under "Public Music".  When I opened iTunes, all my music was gone so I just added the folder "Public Music" to my iTunes Library, iTunes did some work and all my music was then back, listed in my iTunes.
    However, when I would synch my iPhone now, when I view the music or movie contents in my iPhone using iTunes, I can no longer ADD Music or Movies to my iPhone and I cannot delete music or movies in my iPhone using iTunes anymore.
    How do I fix this?  Please help.

    Try opening iTunes preferences. Then click on advanced tab. Then uncheck "Copy files to iTunes media folder when adding to library." By default, iTunes copies music to its own media folder when you use iTunes to play the music.

  • Trial version, windows 7 user account control box comes up

    Downloaded trial version of InDesign CS4 on Windows 7 64 bit OS system. I've also downloaded the most current update. Initial problem during installation of the program was that it wouldn't allow me to dowload all components, I think when I followed the technical link, it said something about having to edit the registry and something to do with ICC profiles.  I skipped that for now, didn't really want to go in and edit the registry until I played with the program a bit.
    The question I have right now is, that while I can eventually get in the program and run it, when I click to start it, a Windows 7 User Account Control box pops up asking if I want to allow this program to make changes to my computer.  When I click details, it appears the Adobe certificate for this probram is not Windows 7 certified?? Does this happen to anyone else operating on Windows 7??  How do you get rid of that pop up box??  I know I can change my user account settings to not notify me, but that would leave my computer very vunerable so I rather not do that.
    Only other program I had bring up that pop up on Windows 7 was Netscape 7, and that pop up box got pretty annoying so I had to go to another browser (yes I know Netscape was out dated, but I loved the email program vs. IE Outlook. I thought maybe it had something to do with my Norton antivirus and called their tech support and they told me no, it was a problem between Windows 7 and the program compatibility.

    It's a brand new HP desktop PC with Windows 7 Professional factory insta
    lled.  Yes, I'm the ony User, have Admin rights.
    I looked at the certificate details when the pop up comes up and it lookes like the certificate is outdate, expired 12/10/09. I wonder if I'm getting an expired certificate because it's only a Trial version of InDesign CS4.
    I went into the Windows User Account and tried to figure out the certificate manager, but I just don't understand it and can't figure out how to get it to allow this certificate so I don't get this annoying pop up window asking me if I want to allow this program to make changes to my computer everytime I start the program.

  • Windows XP user accounts

    I am running Windows XP and have other user accounts on this machine. I do not want to view their photos on my account and I do not want to share my photos with them. Photos take up enough space without doubling every one.
    How do I set Adobe to not share files?

    Dear Colin,
    Thank you for your response. Although it is not what I wanted to hear it does clear up my concerns.
    After I use this program and find some advantages, maybe I will upgrade.

  • WRT300N and Windows XP User Accounts

    I recently upgraded my router from an older linksys to the WRT300N. I got it all installed and it works wonderfully on my account (which is the computer administrator). Unfortunately, the two other user accounts on this Windows XP pc (both limited accounts) only seem to be able to connect at random. Sometimes when they logon the Linksys Wireless Monitor icon (which stays grey, indicating that it is not connected to the internet) that appears in the taskbar just keeps loading every couple of seconds. Pretty soon there are 20 or so of these filling the taskbar. Every time you put your mouse over them or try to click on them they disappear. The only way they can connect to the internet is if I logon before they do, or if they tell the computer to shutdown at the logon screen and then cancel it. Then when they logon the internet works perfectly.
    Anyone have any idea what is happening here?

    Doesn’t seem to be a router problem. You may have a Linksys wireless adapter installed on this computer with WLAN monitor. Since you have windows XP, uninstall this monitor, install the drivers without it and use WZC to connect to your wireless network. Make sure your users have network connection privileges.

  • Exchange User Account Managment Task locking AD account

    User's AD account is locking within minutes. Windows logs show calling computer as the Exchange 2010 CAS server ( which is part of the CAS array).  We have disabled all mailbox features ( Active Sync, Mapi, OWA, POP, IMAP)  The
    account still locks up within minutes and with same Windows event. There are no 1035 events on the CAS showing any brute force attacks and no other Logs referencing this event at all . The ISS logs show an old Samsung Phone that the user
    had months ago and it broke. It doesn't make sense that it will  be blocking the account even when Active Sync is disabled for testing. I have gone ahead and blocked it anyway and removed it from the mailbox using MAPI MFC. I did check server
    for Conflicker but did not see any thing odd in the registry. What can be causing this lockout ? Also the user does not have any tasks configured or passwords saved on the computer.

    IIS Log Entry for the Old Phone which was removed now using MAPI MFC and Blocked. Note 10.88.11.2 is Load Balancers IP (changed in this post)

    Hello,
    Ad replication has been tested with no issues.
    The Test account locks up only if we intentionally enter the bad password. This was done to see that if our disabling of the Mailbox feature on the actuall production account would prevent locks due to request coming to exchange for that feature,
    with a bad password. Apparently account will lock even if the mailbox feature is disabled. For example: if OWA if disabled for a mailbox entering the incorrect password for the account will lock the account.
    So, currently we have done a work around; since the user has no pc to log in to - only uses Ipad and Iphone - we have changed the user name in AD. The account is not locking in but I am still seeing these eneteries in the IIS logs coming from his old phone
    for the old username ( which broke and was trashed- this also tells us that if we revert to the actual username for the account it will lock). Also, disabling active sync for the user when user name was not changed did not have
    any impact and request coming to active sync would still lock the account.
    What should we do to prevent exchange from trying to respond to this request to active sync, from an old device ?   - the device was blocked on the account and removed through MFC when the issue surfaced but it did not fix the situation:

  • Oracle user account is getting locked frequently

    Hi everyone!!!
    I am using Oracle 11g on Linux . I have user named "XXX" to whom I have assigned a DEFAULT profile. The Password parameters in DEFAULT profile are as follow.
    Resource Name                                      Resource                                 Limit
    FAILED_LOGIN_ATTEMPTS                    PASSWORD                            20
    PASSWORD_LIFE_TIME                        PASSWORD                            UNLIMITED
    PASSWORD_LOCK_TIME                      PASSWORD                           UNLIMITED
    PASSWORD_REUSE_TIME                   PASSWORD                            UNLIMITED
    PASSWORD_REUSE_MAX                   PASSWORD                             UNLIMITED
    I don't know why my user is getting locked continuously. Even i haven't reached Failed_login_attempts (20). Each time I require to unlock user account as SYS user and then I can connect as XXX user.
    And another thing that I want to know is when user account's status is set to LOCKED, EXPIRED, EXPIRED & LOCKED and LOCKED(TIME).
    Thanks & Regards

    Hi,
    can you tell me the exact db version?
    As explained in MOS notes:
    DBA_USERS.ACCOUNT_STATUS shows LOCKED after FAILED_LOGIN_ATTEMPTS Is Breached (Doc ID 284344.1)
    How to Interpret the ACCOUNT_STATUS Column in DBA_USERS (Doc ID 260111.1)
    Expected behaviour is:
    1. Oracle release is <= 11.1.0.7.
    DBA_USERS.ACCOUNT_STATUS = LOCKED(TIMED) whenever the number of failed login attempts is > FAILED_LOGIN_ATTEMPTS
    2. Oracle release is >= 11.2 and PASSWORD_LOCK_TIME = unlimited:
    DBA_USERS.ACCOUNT_STATUS = LOCKED whenever the number of failed login attempts is > FAILED_LOGIN_ATTEMPTS
    3. Oracle release is >= 11.2 and PASSWORD_LOCK_TIME = <some fix value>
    DBA_USERS.ACCOUNT_STATUS = LOCKED(TIMED) whenever the number of failed login attempts is > FAILED_LOGIN_ATTEMPTS
    Note
    that 10.2.0.5 displays the same behavior as 11.2, because the fix that  changed the behavior in 11.2 was introduced in 10.2.0.5.
    So I suggest you to follow MOS note
    Finding the source of failed login attempts. (Doc ID 352389.1)
    to find who locked the account.

  • Why don't java applets run when using Firefox 4.0 in a windows limited user account?

    Java applications will not run in Firefox 4.0 when the windows user/process only has limited user access rights. The systems, I see this behaviour on have Windows XP Pro SP3, Firefox 4.0 and JRE 1.6.0_24 installed. The java application will run when when full administrative rights are present. This issue did not occur with the 3.6 firefox version that was previously installed.

    The problem also exists with the newer Firefox 4.0.1 and Java 1.6.0_25 versions.
    Enabling administrative rights resolves the issue ... though this defeats the purpose of using a limited user.
    The underlying bug appears to be in the Firefox java plugin detection code. The issue is related to the detection code requiring write access to the HKLM\SOFTWARE\mozilla.org windows registry key. The limited user only has read access for this registry key. The behaviour was identified using the Sysinternals ProcessMonitor utility ... showed firefox calling an interface to create the registry key and getting an access denied response in the limited user case.
    A more targeted workaround for the issue is to grant the limited user write access on the HKLM\SOFTWARE\mozilla.org windows registry key. This avoids the need to grant administrative rights to the user and enables the java plugin to be detected. That is, it works on the 2 XP systems where the java plugin wasn't being detected in limited user accounts.

  • Windows 7 user account network and administration problem

    Hello
    I hope I am in the correct place and that my problem can be looked at, if not could I ask the moderator to move this post to the correct forum.
    I have a very unusual problem that I hope can be resolved here.
    I have 3 x Win 7 machines ( 2 x Pro and 1 x Ultimate ) all on my network but recently I tried to SFTP/SSH using winscp into one of them ( Pro ) only to find that access was denied – it took ages to find out why
    – I finally noticed that the user name I created ( that has admin rights ) was not actually in the c:\Users\    folder what has happened is that all the files that should be in my created windows account are sitting in a folder called “user”which
    is insidec:\Users\
    I then created a folder that has the same user login nameI originally created, inside
    c:\Users\
    and copied all the files from the “user” folder and then tried to STFP/SSH into the original created user name but that did not work
    I then tried this link
    User Account - Hide using method 2 point 12, i.e adding (1) to the SpecialAccounts key, but that has not unhide my user account.
    Using this cmd below
    net user > Desktop\Users.txt
    lists the users but I would expect to see i.e
    Administrator ( followed by ) …. (created username)
    What I am seeing however is below
    Guest ( followed by ) …. (user)
    When I use the command
    lusrmgr.msc I see below :-
    Name = user
    Full name = my created windows login
    Description = blank
    I hope I can get some help here – I have cloned my disc in case of any mishaps but all I want to do is get my created win 7 user account working as it should, incidentally the login welcome screen appears on the
    created account.

    Hello
    MeipoXu
    I think that I have managed to get into a better position since your last email above, but not quite where I need to be.
    I have posted 3 jpg's
    jpg key 501 = c:\Users\D&S
    jpg key1000 = c:\Users\User
    jpg winscp = my SFTP attempt to my problem machine
    key 1000 = c:\Users\User .. everything I try to do will not get rid of this key.
    However c:\Users\D&S finally appeared, and I was able to SFTP login using winscp only to find the root reports as c:\Users\user.
    What I should see is c:\Users\D&S but I can only access c:\Users\User and not c:\Users\D&S
    ( Does that all make sense ? )
    The other thing I noticed was that key 501
    is normally reserved for the guest account c:\users\guest
    But it has taken over c:\Users\D&S ... if you can get me past this then I will be extremely grateful
    I need to see the root reported back as c:\Users\D&S   not c:\Users\User
    Turning to your post above and may I thank you for your help in trying to resolve this but before I proceed I need to be very clear about what you are suggesting I do.
    Your Quote
    Enable the built-in administrator account and login with it .To enable the built-in account:
    net user administrator /active:yes
    Q) Do I login with new the Admin account first then net user administrator /active:yes ?
    Your Quote
    Cut the whole folder and paste it to the Users folder , then navigate to the registry keys"ProfileImagePath" and change it  to "c:\Users\account name".
    Q) Cut and past which folder ? is it the folder c:\Users\D&S ? and where am I pasting it as "D&S" already exists in c:\Users\D&S .. I already created it and copied all the contents from "user" to "D&S"
    Your Quote
    Restart the machine and login with that account and then have a check.
    Q) That bit must mean login with D&S
    Your Quote
    If the issue has gone ,please run "net user administrator /active:no" to disable the built-in account.Again
    A) Got that bit :-)
    Apologies for the above but I have found to my cost that if you assume what something means it can turn out to be mis understood and I could end up creating more trouble for myself
    I will submit the winscp jpg separately as you can only submit 2 jpg's per message
    Thank you

  • Can't get a downloaded menu bar to show up in a Window's user account instance of Firefox other than the administrator account

    In Windowx XP, one can create seperate user accounts or "profiles" so that different people can use a computer and have their files and profiles kept seperate or secured from others. The main account is the Administrator account.
    My problem is I have non-Firefox toolbars that I have downloaded and installed on the Administrators account Firefox toolbar, but I can not get these to show up in any of the seperate user accounts that I have created.
    Is there a way to make these show up? If so, what do I need to do?
    Thank you,
    Blaine Thompson

    Toolbar extensions are installed to the user account / Profile, they're not installed globally. You need to install them separately to each user account / Profile.
    If you know your way around in the Windows Explorer file system, you can drop an extension into the program files Firefox\extensions\ folder and the extension will be installed globally - as each Profile is launched. Right-click the installation button for extensions an use Save Link As... to save the extension to local disk.

    Any ideas on how to fix this other than changing the User Account Control to off ? I am running as admin.

    Thanks , I had done that before but this time I made changes for all users and it fixed it. However , I'm still getting the "User Account Control" prompt. Any ideas on how to fix that ?

  • User account control message displays every time, minimise and close buttons not displaying, pages slow to load

    Every time I try to open a page, I get a user account control message asking for permission to proceed. I have tried to adjust the frequency of this but have been unsuccessful. This has only started to occur recently.
    Pages are slow to load and do not properly display the close, minimise etc buttons in the top right corner (these are blacked out)
    I have tried to reset firefox. This does not fix the problem.
    The problem does not occur using Internet Explorer

    There are several things to try.
    Some problems occurs when your Internet security program was set to trust the
    previous version of Firefox, but no longer recognizes your updated version as
    trusted. Now how to fix the problem: To allow Firefox to connect to the Internet
    again;
    * Make sure your Internet security software is up-to-date (i.e. you are running the latest version)
    * Remove Firefox from your program's list of trusted or recognized programs, then add it back. For detailed instructions, see

  • Windows 2000 user account migrate to new Windows 2012 R2 domain

    Hi all
    I have a customer using Windows 2000 domain with many user accounts and file share service.
    Now they want to use a new Windows 2012 domain without upgrade from old 2000 domain due to some hidden problem.
    Customer requested to keep user name, password, uid for existing file share access.
    May I know any tools for migrate user account from Windows 2000 domain to Windows 2012 domain?
    thx
    Q K

    Hi,
    Can you please confirm your requirement, that is you will be using a new Windows 2012 domain with only the user accounts from Windows 2000 domain. 
    If the above text matches your requirement, I would suggest you the following steps,
    1. You can use CSVDE - command line tool to export the AD user information as CSV file from  Windows 2000 domain,
    http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/data-center/simplify-admin-tasks-by-exporting-active-directory-data-with-csvde/
    2. Then, you can import the CSV file with required user attributes (domain details modified according to the target domain) to Windows 2012 domain using PowerShell as
    shown in the link given below,
