Check for NT account lock out

Post by pmwither »

Is there anyway to test to see if an NT domain user account has been locked out? Sometimes our admin account that we use for HostMonitor gets locked out and we don't always discover it until several hours have past. This means that for these several hours, we aren't checking very many of our tasks. We need someway to monitor this NT account and alarm us when it is locked out. Can we do this with HM?

Thanks!

I think you can use NT Event Log test method.
Event with ID 644 notifies about locked account.
