Some process in SharePoint is causing my active directory account to be locked out repeatedly. It seems to happen on a regular interval (roughly every 4 hours). I have checked the windows event log and the task scheduler and cannot find any related entries. This began when I made had to change my password, but has never occurred before when I've done password changes. My account is not used as a service account anywhere in SharePoint. Any suggestions on where to look or how to trace this would be greatly apprecitated!

  • It is my user account. My network administrator was able to pull the "calling computer" name from their monitoring but there is no additional info there about what process. I do not access that server using my user account -- I log in via a different administrator account. That, combined with no entries in windows event log, confirms it is not a logon issue.

  • do you have any scheduled task configured on the server under your name? or any batch file which run on regular intervals>

I had the same issue with my account.

It happens when you log-in with Service Account to server and then use your account to browse your profile or do some activity.

You need to log-in with service account on the server and then check credential manager it might be saved their which needs to be deleted.
