Yes, downloaded ALTools since first post. I was thinking persistant
drive mappings like Steve said, or may be cached credentials in the
ICA client. However it appears to be coming down to just a few
machines causing this, could very well be viral.
Thanks for the tips, we seem to be getting closer.
Stange side note: Disabling and then re-enabling the account with
lockout issues seems to be a temporary fix.
