Windows NT generates an account lockout event (Event ID: 539) on the
workstation where the failed logon attempts occurred if the audit policy on
that workstation enables auditing of failed logon/logoff events. However,
no event is logged at the domain controller. Administrators must search the
event logs of all client systems to locate the computer where the bad
password attempts originated.

I have a user, who is not logged in anywhere else, and while surfing the
web or access a program is getting locked out of her account for no reason.
I have checked the logs on all three domain controllers and nothing is
showing a failed logon attempt or bad password.  It doesn’t even show when
the account got locked.  Any ideas on how to rectify this?
