SMS: Your User Account May Be Repeatedly Locked Out in a Domain (293662)

CAUSE

This problem can occur if a computer that is running Microsoft Windows 95, Microsoft Windows 98, or Microsoft Windows Millennium Edition (Me) is logged on to the network with a domain account whose password had been changed on a different computer. The Windows 95-based, Windows 98-based, or Windows Me-based computer is still using the previous account information when it attempts to perform Systems Management Server (SMS) tasks, such as, when it checks for new software distributions or transfers inventory information.

The use of the previous password can cause the domain account to lock out a user account. The user that has logged on to the computer is using the password that the user had originally used to log on to the computer, not the new password that had been changed on another computer. The SMS client computer continues with its normal SMS processes and can continually lock out the user account until the client is logged off from the computer.
