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 ??

The Windows account is locked. If you are on a Domain network, Check "Active Directory users and computers" for the user account in question and make sure you unlock the account.

If you are NOT on a domain, You will need to go to the windows computer that is hosting the account and unlock the account. To do so perform the following:

  • Start > Run > Compmgmt.msc > Enter

  • Expand Local users and groups

  • Located the user, Double click it and unlock it.

Hope this helps.
