Your responses are neurotic. On one hand you’re saying you fixed the issue by tweaking a file, but your accounts are getting locked out. On the other hand you say your original problem is still occurring. I’m not sure what to tell you other than if you could provide more complete concise information we could probably better help you.

[QUOTE][u]Quote by: bango[/u][p]no… i dont use OCS /Messenger.

why?

I believe your problem is OCS/Messenger then. There is a known problem with it causing lockouts. http://www.ms-news.net/f2330/microsoft-messenger-7-0-2-ad-accountimmediately-locked-out-when-using-kerberos-8894446.html

I had the same thing happen. Don’t launch messenger, and try the login/logout again…

[QUOTE][u]Quote by: bango[/u][p]ok i re-tweaked that file – following apple’s KB article: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4100

after a reboot, the initial home sync issue i was experiencing went away but now…. the account gets locked out and the user cant perform a logout sync. i then have to unlock the account in AD.
this is really weird…
whilst logged in, the account must be hitting / clogging the DC or something… to cause a “lock out ” issue.
console logs dont really state anything helpful – as always.

anyone ????

You’re not using OCS / Microsoft Messenger are you?

Which version of OS X are you running?
