SPD 2007 and AD auth

[Guest]

We've just migrated our users from XP Pro and Office 2003 to Vista Enterprise
and Office 2007 with SharePoint Designer.

We're in an Active Directory environment and I'm finding a handful of users
who are getting locked out of their AD account when using SharePoint
Designer. I've watched these users work enough to be confident that it's an
end-user problem. They're doing everthing right. When prompted to login
they're entering their domain credentials (once) and after almost any length
of time (editing 1 page or 10 pages...) they suddently cant save their files.

I check on their AD account and sure enough they're locked out. As far as I
can tell their use of SharePoint is the only common denominator. I've not
found any specfic action which seems to trigger this (although one user
swears that using the color picker/pallet in SPD locks her out everytime).

Any suggestions? Has anyone else experienced this?

Thanks I shall do so.

I should also mention (both here and in WSS newsgroup) that we're in a
spit-domain environment. What I mean by this is the workstations running SPD
are operating in domain "A" but web servers we're working on are in domain
"B".

So we can enter the domainB\username & password into SPD when opening a web
site but somwhere underneath SPD is passing the machine's local domain A
credentials to the web server which are not correct and the domainB account
gets locked out...
