Panic this morning when SharePoint went down in front of my eyes. In the moments before it went down, I was starting the UserProfileSyncService and entered in my Farm Account details to do it (I realise that the farm account should probably not be used for an application). Anyway, all of a sudden, Central Admin went down and soon after, all my Web Apps were down.
I did the usual, restarted IIS and then rebooted all 4 servers. After starting back up, the above service was stopped and the Farm Account was the one complaining. I couldn't understand what would be the problem but after checking AD, that Farm Account was locked out for some reason which I am trying to get to the bottom of now.
After unlocking the account and restarting the above service, it took a few minutes but it was fine.
