SYMPTOMS

If a local Security Accounts Manager (SAM) account on a workstation or server (either a workgroup or domain member) is automatically locked because the bad password count passes the threshold, the event is not audited even if auditing is turned on. You expect event 642 ("Account Changed" with the text "Account Locked") to be logged.
