Account locked out? - a friendly reminder
Posted by Jeremy on April 11th, 2008
Just a reminder, when you’re NT account keeps getting locked out every 20 minutes, and you’ve found the server name that is the culprit, but you’ve looked and looked and have absolutely no idea exactly what is causing it.
If it’s a SQL Reporting Services server, make sure you go to http://<ServerName>/Reports, then click on the “My Subscriptions” in the upper right hand corner. Then see the test report you created, 6 months ago, and set to run every 5 minutes. Then see that the delivery method is Windows File Share, and that you’ve entered you’re own credentials, and not those of a service account.
Then smack your forehead, and wonder why you went through 2 days of hell before an offhand remark from a coworker helped you resolve it. Then, go buy him a Twix (I haven’t done that yet, but I will) as thanks.
ARGH!
