We're using a single account to authenticate to windows hosts. When adding a sensor to a device requiring windows authentication (event log via API) the inherited authentication info fails(locks the account out). If I then enter the authentication info into the parent to the sensor (host) and block the inheritance it works fine. The password is alpha-numeric plus _ (underscore). Naturally this generates a large amount of alerts when the account gets locked!! Any advice?
