Download the Account Lockout and Management Tools from Microsoft.  More
specifically, from the downloaded EXE, extract the LockoutStatus.EXE
file and use it to query for the user account that is having issues.

 

It will tell you how many bad password attempts have been made, what
time/date the lockout occurred, and on what DC.  Furthermore, you can
directly manage the Domain Controller from the tool and pull up the
event viewer to look for the security entry pointing you to the source
of the bad credentials.

 

It's always worked like a charm for me when dealing with issues like
these.

 

Good luck,

~Ben

Subject: [ActiveDir] Strange Lock Out Issue

 

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?
