OK, I'm having issues with the problem. To summarize, I'm trying to have a normal user change his password from a domain member. I've tried: passwd, kpasswd and 'samba-tool user password -U $USER --ipaddress=<IPofAD/DC>'. All mechanisms do change the domain password and I can log into Windows and Linux domain members, and website requiring domain authentication. HOWEVER, after 1 to 3 days the account become locked out. About 2 days ago I did the samba-tool method and reported in this thread that it worked. Today I tried to log into my Windows workstation and was locked out. The Samba log message was: [2018/04/05 05:11:38.549997, 2] authentication for user [HPRS/myuser] FAILED with error NT_STATUS_ACCOUNT_LOCKED_OUT ntlm_auth gives: Unable to Authenticate: NT_STATUS_ACCOUNT_LOCKED_OUT: Account locked out (0xc0000234) This all despite the rcpclient saying the expiration is in July. As the domain administrator I ran 'samba-tool user setpassword myuser' and reset the password and was able to log in. I'm going to not mess with this for a couple of days and see what happens. The rpcclient output shows no indication that the user is locked out. The logon time is shown at 10:03AM today, but I was unable to log then. Is there a better tool than rpcclient that will give lockout status? Does anyone have any idea why this is happening? rpcclient $> queryuser 0x457 User Name : myuser Logon Time : Thu, 05 Apr 2018 10:03:45 EDT Logoff Time : Wed, 31 Dec 1969 19:00:00 EST Kickoff Time : Wed, 31 Dec 1969 19:00:00 EST Password last set Time : Thu, 05 Apr 2018 10:25:39 EDT Password can change Time : Thu, 05 Apr 2018 10:25:39 EDT Password must change Time: Wed, 04 Jul 2018 10:26:42 EDT unknown_2[0..31]... user_rid : 0x457 group_rid: 0x201 acb_info : 0x00000010 fields_present: 0x08ffffff logon_divs: 168 bad_password_count: 0x00000000 logon_count: 0x00000000 padding1[0..7]... logon_hrs[0..21]... --Mark

An account can get logged out for various reasons, but the main one is something trying to auth with an old or wrong password. Do you have anything that tries to authenticate to AD with the username and password, if so, check it is using the right password, mobile phones are a favourite place to start. Rowland

A week ago I used 'samba-tool user setpassword me' as the domain administrator from the AD server to reset my normal user domain password. That worked for the past week with no lockout issues. So, yesterday I decided to again try samba-tool user password -U $USER --ipaddress=mail from the domain member workstation as the normal user, $USER. Again, that worked. However, once again today (the next day) I am locked out. Furthermore, if I try to use samba-tool as the Domain Admin to set the password to the same value as the locked out one, I still could not get in. I had to change the password to something different. This behavior is consistent. If, as the normal user, I change the domain password using samba-tool from the domain member computer, I get locked out within about a day. If I do the same as the domain admin, no lockout happens. I know with certainty this is NOT related to cell phones or other programs trying to repeatedly authenticate. For one thing, I have no cell phone or remote mail client accessing this domain. Also, I send an email notice for EVERY failed domain login attempt. There are no such failures in the samba log. I think there is a bug afoot. I would be happy to try any tests anyone might suggest. --Mark Samba 4.4.16
