  • 1.  Can DCS cause AD accounts to be locked?

    Posted Feb 28, 2017 06:14 AM

    I implemented protected whitelisting on a DC. A few hours later, the admin's were complaining of users accounts being locked and having to reset accounts for more than 2 hours.

    I just want to know if DCS can cause AD accounts to be locked out ?

    I have not seen that happen, and I have implemented Whitelisting policy before on DC's.  Check your events, and see if you see any blocks.

    Was EVERYONE locked out?  That would be an indication that DCS could be getting in the way of something.  If it is just a few users, then it is probably not DCS.

    Are you blocking replication between the DC's?  If you disable the IPS policy does the issue go away?
