Check and see if they have any mapped drives using their old credentials. Todd

I look at their account and see 5 bad passwords (our GPO is set for 5) The strange thing is I can unlock their account and they can get in to their mail, network drive and other network resources and not show any bad passwords, but after a few hours and sometimes not until the next day it will lock them out with again. I watch their authenticating domain controller for bad passwords after I unlock them and I don't see any bad passwords, sometimes a few bad passwords will show up after a few hours but I talk to the user and they haven't done anything on the computer. And when they come in the next day, they will be locked out with 5 bad passwords. It's not specific with the company because I've had it happen to me on my home Win2K domain. I finally solved my problem by resetting the password on the Computer, not through the MMC and rebooting. The problem at work is if the user resets their password they can't reset it for 5 days. Any ideas or has anyone else encountered this, I've searched Microsoft high and low and can't find anything specific.
