Account is Locked ..cannot log in error when using virtual directories

[michael...@adp.com]

I have some virtual directories set up that use a user
name and password to connect to a file server where some
content for my Intranet is stored. This content is made
up of microsoft word docs, excel files and PDF files.

Most of the time, the intranet site successfully links to
these documents and serves them up for the user through
the browser. Occasionally, they get an HTTP 500 -
Internal server error message when trying to access these
files. If you turn off freindly error messages, the error
message says that "The account is currently Locked and is
unable to log on". The same error message appears in the
IIS MMC snap in.

Why does it happen only some times and how do you fix it?
Previously, I had another account set up that never had
this problem. Recently the account had to be set up again
and I am plagued with this problem. Anything you can
pass along information wise is greatly appreciated.

I would ensure that you are completely up to date with w2k service packs (3) and windowsupdate after that. You might want to bring this up in the active
directory newsgroup; for account lockout scenarios.

Thank you. I hope this information is helpful.
