Negative number of remaining grace logins

MigrationDeletedUser

After a user's password expires, we have recently been experiencing a
problem where the remaining grace logins eventually ends up being a
negative number. The "biggest" we have seen so far is -16, but more
commonly we see -2, etc. This has happened to a significant number of
users.

An associated problem is that the remaining grace logins sometimes drops
by several increments all at once, without any obvious cause.

Any idea what might be going on?

The primary version of eDirectory we are running is v8.8 SP7, 20703.00.
A few servers are also running v8.8 SP6, 20608.00, and we have a few
instances of eDirectory running on old NetWare servers, v8.8 SP5,
20506.07. The site which is most frequently experiencing the problem is
running v8.8 SP7 on an OES 11 SP1 server.

    Are there any warnings about sync delta (or anything else) in an iMonitor
    health check?

    I am not sure where to look for a sync delta warning, etc. I brought up
    iMonitor and ran a report, asking it to only show me servers with
    errors. One of the times I ran the report, it showed server wa1, which
    is the server that hosts the users who have been experiencing the
    problem regularly. However, I ran the report again, and the server did
    not show up. I did a lot of looking through the report that showed wa1,
    and I was unable to find any errors. So, I am confused.

    Any suggestions on where to look in iManager and what I should be
    looking for?

    iMonitor is the right place to look. Go to "Agent health" and see what
    the status is. Then go to "Known Servers" (best from a server with a
    copy of [root]) and iterate through the "agent health" link on each
    server listed to see what each server's health is.

    Note any issues reported.

    That's the better way to do a health check (and faster), after looking at
    each server's health, go back one page and pick the next server in the
    list.
