Hello, I need assistance on unlocking this user's account. The user's devices (e.g. mobile and laptop) password has been changed. I had also shutdown the user's devices, but the account gets locked out right away. M365 office apps are all working fine. Credentials on the laptop has been cleared and mobile Outlook app has been deleted and signed on with the new password. In the on-prem DC Security event viewer shows the ID 4740, but in the additional information, the Caller computer name is weird, it doesn't show the local computer name where the user is supposed to be locked out, but it's showing ADFS server instead. We have a hybrid environment, On-prem DC & ADFS. Any information is greatly appreciated, thanks.
