I use the winexe tool in order to run cli command on my WIN xp from Linux machine

as the following example ( from my Linux )

• 10.18.15.132 - IP of the WIN XP machine

./winexe -U Cellcom/SDnet%w5frdlpp //10.18.15.132 "ipconfig"

Windows IP Configuration Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection:

Connection-specific DNS Suffix . : Cellcom
IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 10.18.15.132
Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.0.0
Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 10.18.15.0



but today when I run the winexe I got the following error?

./winexe -U Cellcom/SDnet%w5frdlpp //10.18.15.132 "ipconfig"


ERROR: Failed to open connection - **NT_STATUS_ACCOUNT_LOCKED_OUT**

after 1/2 hour I run the winexe again and now its ok

So I don’t understand why I get "status account lock" for 1/2 hour ??

•What could be the problem, and if I get lock how to un-lock?

•what’s the steps that should be done in order to unlock ??

It sounds like the account was locked out on your XP box. If you look in the Windows security log on that machine, you may be able to determine the cause.
