This happened with one of our users, too, and the only thing I could find
was some kerberos errors related to the user's workstation..  ??  Never did
solve the problem, and it went away after a few days..

Well this was my first thought but I didn't see any failed log on attempts
in the logs for any of these users except for the attempt that locked them
out....

Someone is trying to break into your system.
 
If the accounts are locked out, someone is trying those user accounts and
entering the incorrect password more then 3 times.

Hello,
 
Does anyone have any ideas as to why users account would lock out for what
looks like no reason at all? We have a 3 failed attempt policy that will
lock users out but some of these users are not even failing once. I have a
few users that will log onto their workstations without any problems but
Outlook will ask for their login. I have checked the security logs but I
can't see anything out of the ordinary......
 
 
Thanks in advance
 
Paul.
