We have approximately 80 users on a windows 2000 network with an NT 4.0 PDC
and another NT 4.0 BDC. I have users suddenly being locked out in the middle
of the day. They will be working then suddenly their account is locked out.
It also seems like this is happening to only a few users, not all (yet).
What the heck is going on? Has anyone else seen this before?
Thanks

Have a look at the Security Log in the Event Viewer.
I've seen this when users were logged in on multiple workstations and
changed their password on one workstation. Eventually the other logins
grew stale and kept locking out the accounts because they were still
using the old password. This also applies to mapped drives.
