Turn on auditing of failed user logon. Unlock user´s account. Check the DC´s
security event viewer for event id 529:
529 Failure Audit Logon Failure Reason: Unknown user name or bad password 

Look into description field for the machine that cause the account lockout

Be happy!

Can't do that because were 24-7.  I was hoping there was some utility I
could use to automate it.  Any other options or ideas.

Thanks,
Bill

Try setting a policy that logs everyone out at 3am

I have never posted to this board, so hopefully I'm following the right
procedures.  My issue is that a user's account keeps getting locked out due
to an aggressive password policy (30 days) and he claims that he isn't
logged into multiple machines nor is he fat fingering his password.  Is
anybody aware of a product to find out where or how many Windows 2000
servers or workstations a user is logged into?  My thinking is that he's
logged into multiple machines under an old password that keeps locking him
out.

Thanks,
Bill
