As stated in the title, some of my active directory user accounts are
getting locked out if the user makes one invalid attempt. My Domain security
policy is as follows:

Account Lockout Time = 60 mins
Account Lockout Threshold = 5 invalid attempts
Account Lockout Counter Reset = 15 mins

Any idea why this would be happening?

Thanks,
 
Happens at my place all the time. 3 reasons for this... 1- user is logged
in to multiple machines, password is changed and at least one of those
machines is still logged in with the old password. 2 - user has a service
running on some machine with their ID instead of a system ID and it has an
older password or 3 - user is logged in to a terminal session with an old
password or didn't end it properly.

Good luck...

Assuming #1 took place... which my guess is it did (she was logged into her
workstation, but changed the password on her laptop), how would I go about
resolving the issue in the future? (it is still happening days later, after
both stations have been logged out many times).

Thanks,
