Accoutn Lockout

[m@tt]

I have a user that everytime they change their password
their account gets locked out. I manually change it on
the server and a few minutes later the account is locked
again....any ideas?

I had the same problem, it turned out the user had a
scheduled task running with the old password.

Check these things. It's almost always one of them.
1) User logged on somewhere else (usual cause) (download
and run pslogged on from sysinternals.com)
2) Scheduled task or service logging in with user account
3) User mapped a network resource using alternate
credentials, but specified current username and password
4) User sucks and keeps mistyping the password/has caps
lock on etc...
