Windows 10: Domain Account Locked Daily

No, as I had installed Office 2010 to try that. However, given that's not working, either, I might as well put it 2016 back on and I'll update to that.

 

are you using PIN code ?

 

Not me.

 

Hello,
I have similar problem. My domain account locks from time to time. I just upgraded from W8.1 to W10.
I tried many steps to solve this but none is working.
I found out some interesting things. Using a tool "Account Lockout Status" I found that Last Bad Pwd value is changed when I enter credentials after computer automatic or manaul screen lock out.
I can work normally if I do not get a message about "Windows needs your current credentials":



If I get this message and do nothing - account very quickly locks out.
If I do quick screen lock and unlock it will go ok for some time.
Very strange. I replicate the problem of Last Bad Pwd value using another PC with W10. Some other users in domain are ok some same as mine.
Something wrong with specific users and Windows 10 combination..

I just installed Windows 10 Enterprise RTM on my office computer (clean install). I, too, am having this issue. As others above me, it seems the issue occurs after unlocking my workstation after it's been locked for some time. When I leave at the end of the day, I lock my machine. Per Account Lockout Status and EventCombMT, the bad passwords don't start coming in until I unlock my PC the next morning.

I use Office 2013 and Lync/Skype for Business. I was thinking it was Skype related so I disconnected the last time I left but issue remained. I'm going to try closing all apps next time.

There are other users in my office up upgraded to Win 10 and they don't have an issue. So far I'm the only one with this.

On a side note, there's a similar post about this on the official MS forums. I would suggest everyone post their troubles there as that may get more attention from MS.

Windows 10 Domain joined locking out user account regularly - Microsoft Community

 

I also started a case in MS Partner forum. This bug prevents as to roll out updates to our customers. It should be clear how to solve it without crazy workarounds (like adjusting lock out policy). I guess we will see some hotfix stuff in the near feature*Smile

I started a case but I'm not confident in their ability. The tech I have is under the impression the issue is isolated to my specific workstation just because I don't have another Windows 10 instance with the issue in my environment (note I only have 2 total!). I have referenced this thread, the one on the official forum, and even the built in Windows Feedback tool whereby many people are citing the issue. His response is "oh, they are working on that".

At any rate, we're still "troubleshooting". If you get different results, please share!

 

If you check your GPOs, is Always wait for the network at computer startup" value. Enabled or disabled?
Try change this to enabled and report back.

 

Hi All,

This appears to be the problem related to Kerberos authentication. Microsoft are aware of the problem and are producing a fix.
1 workaround in the meantime is to log onto AD, find the user having the issue and under "Account options" tick "Do not require Kerberos preauthentication".
Have a look at this forum post:
