A brief idea of the machine setup:
Two Win7 Pro machines A and B, with Account lockout threshold policy set to 3 attempts.
Both the machines have same local user account(same user name) logged in but has different passwords.
My use case:
Access a shared folder of machine B from machine A. (\\serverA)
I get an error message as the referenced account is locked out. No dialog box for asking credentials is asked
May be because the accesing the share retries 3 times and the account gets locked out.
if the threshold is set to 4 I get the dialog box for credentials
if any has faced this issue? OR how can I disable the feature of auto login during access if there are similar accounts?

These local accounts or domain accounts. If they are local accounts they are actually entirely different users– RamhoundSep 5, 2014 at 12:50

These are local accounts, but no idea why they are accessed from other machine.– theWindowsUserSep 7, 2014 at 12:28

If they are local accounts then they cannot be accessed from another machine and despite them using the same username they are actually unique users ( because of their unique id ).– RamhoundSep 7, 2014 at 14:23
