New York, NY (PRWEB) January 7, 2007 -- Research shows that almost half of IT helpdesk calls originate from users asking to reset their passwords. How much organizations spend on administrative staff just to handle account lockout issues?

If any services start experiencing lockout issues Account Lockout Examiner will alert IT department immediately.
Discovery of the Reason: The investigation engine of Account Lockout Examiner will do its best to help IT people find out the source of account references that might be causing account lockout. IT person just clicks the button and all possible sources of account lockouts get scanned on appropriate computers.
