Account is locked ... how do i find out where I'm logged in? 1

[mikehday]

My account is locked out because I'm logged in using my old password. I have about 200 Windows servers that I might be logged into. How do I find out which computers I am logged into?

Check the security logs on the domain controllers. The logs will tell you which account caused the lockout.

These logs are enormous. What event ID am I looking for so I can filter in on it?

The best thing to do is to do a find. In even viewer, click on the Security logs. Then, click view > find. Only check the failure and error boxes. Then, put in the username getting locked into the description box. If you run finds there, it will highlight each even one-by-one for you to read the source machine of the lockout.

Perfect ... found it! On a box I've been logged into the console since 9/11/06!

Thanks for your help!
