Hi,<\/p>\n
I have just updated to the latest build of Spiceworks.<\/p>\n
Since doing this my own domain user account in AD seems to be constantly getting locked out.<\/p>\n
I have been through the DC failure audit logs. These are all originating from the Spiceworks server.<\/p>\n
Any ideas what could cause this?<\/p>\n
These are only occurring for my own account. I have had a look through the spiceworks settings and not found any reference to my domain user account.<\/p>\n
Thanks.<\/p>","upvoteCount":2,"answerCount":10,"datePublished":"2013-09-23T12:33:43.000Z","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"harbirpawar","url":"https://community.spiceworks.com/u/harbirpawar"},"acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"
Are you using your domain account to perform the scans?<\/p>","upvoteCount":0,"datePublished":"2013-09-23T12:37:02.000Z","url":"https://community.spiceworks.com/t/spiceworks-locking-out-my-domain-user-account/241705/2","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Little-Green-Man","url":"https://community.spiceworks.com/u/Little-Green-Man"}},"suggestedAnswer":[{"@type":"Answer","text":"

Haha Thanks.<\/p>\n
Looks like when I setup spiceworks I added a number of accounts to try get some pc’s that wouldn’t scan to work including my own desktop.<\/p>\n
Chances are its because of this.<\/p>","upvoteCount":2,"datePublished":"2013-09-23T12:43:40.000Z","url":"https://community.spiceworks.com/t/spiceworks-locking-out-my-domain-user-account/241705/3","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"harbirpawar","url":"https://community.spiceworks.com/u/harbirpawar"}},{"@type":"Answer","text":"
Yes this will be it Harbir.<\/p>\n
I’d recommend making a dedicated account just for scanning. Saves this sort of problem in future <\/p>","upvoteCount":0,"datePublished":"2013-09-23T12:49:49.000Z","url":"https://community.spiceworks.com/t/spiceworks-locking-out-my-domain-user-account/241705/4","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"johnathanrevell","url":"https://community.spiceworks.com/u/johnathanrevell"}},{"@type":"Answer","text":"
What local groups should this account be a member of for it to be used to scan?<\/p>","upvoteCount":0,"datePublished":"2013-09-23T12:51:59.000Z","url":"https://community.spiceworks.com/t/spiceworks-locking-out-my-domain-user-account/241705/5","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"harbirpawar","url":"https://community.spiceworks.com/u/harbirpawar"}},{"@type":"Answer","text":"
I have a feeling that it needs full domain admin permissions.<\/p>","upvoteCount":0,"datePublished":"2013-09-23T12:53:53.000Z","url":"https://community.spiceworks.com/t/spiceworks-locking-out-my-domain-user-account/241705/6","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"johnathanrevell","url":"https://community.spiceworks.com/u/johnathanrevell"}},{"@type":"Answer","text":"
So a domain account with local admin rights?<\/p>","upvoteCount":0,"datePublished":"2013-09-23T12:55:06.000Z","url":"https://community.spiceworks.com/t/spiceworks-locking-out-my-domain-user-account/241705/7","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"harbirpawar","url":"https://community.spiceworks.com/u/harbirpawar"}},{"@type":"Answer","text":"
Yes that should do it.<\/p>\n
When spiceworks reads data through WMI, it needs quite a lot of permissions due to where it gathers the information from.<\/p>","upvoteCount":0,"datePublished":"2013-09-23T13:29:25.000Z","url":"https://community.spiceworks.com/t/spiceworks-locking-out-my-domain-user-account/241705/8","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"johnathanrevell","url":"https://community.spiceworks.com/u/johnathanrevell"}},{"@type":"Answer","text":"

Local admin will / should work every time. Domain admin should also work.<\/p>","upvoteCount":0,"datePublished":"2013-09-23T14:42:06.000Z","url":"https://community.spiceworks.com/t/spiceworks-locking-out-my-domain-user-account/241705/10","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Little-Green-Man","url":"https://community.spiceworks.com/u/Little-Green-Man"}}]}}
