Practice question 457 of 506 · medium

One service account repeatedly locks out immediately after its password changes. What should be investigated?

Choose the single best answer.

  1. A.Assume repeated manual account unlocks update every stored credential
  2. B.A service or scheduled task still using the old stored password
  3. C.Only change the account's display name
  4. D.Only increase lockout duration while leaving stale attempts unchanged
Show the answer and explanation

✓ Correct answer

  • A service or scheduled task still using the old stored password

A stale stored credential explains repeated attempts immediately after a password change. Unlocking does not update that credential, longer lockout does not remove the cause, and a display-name change does not change the stored secret.
