I sometimes bring my laptop to work and connect it to the SBS network so that I can surf the web. Ever since upgrading my laptop to Windows 7, I periodically receive Account Lockout alerts (event id 539) in my work inbox. When I check the event viewer on the server it shows that my user name Jonathan on domain LAPTOP is locked out. The workstation name is also LAPTOP.
Our work domain is WORK and there is no LAPTOP\Jonathan account to be locked out. Unless my understanding of Windows accounts is totally off, this makes no sense to me. I am guessing that my laptop is trying to connect to the network drives I have at home. And actually, now that I am typing this out and thinking about it, I'm using administrative shares at home. Could that be the source of the problem? The laptop keeps trying to connect to nonexistent network drives?
This never happened when my laptop was running XP, so I wonder if Windows 7 has a different method of connecting network drives.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions anyone might have.
