Help! My domain keeps locking a large amount of my user
accounts. I unlock them, and minutes later the accounts
are locked again. I thought maybe this is a replication
issue, but I tried forcing replication and couldn't
recreate the problem.

Help!!!
 
Does this usually happen after they have changed their
password? The most common reason this happens is that
they change their password but their old password is
still logging on somewhere (the old credentials could be
set up in a scheduled task service or other service or
the could be logged on to a terminal services session or
even on a second machine - windows will continue to try
and re-authenticate and when it fails a few times they
get locked out). This is basically an excerise in trying
to find out all the places they are still actively using
their old password. Pain in the ass.
