Actually there could be lot of weird reasons for account lockout...One user had his wifi in his handheld device configured with his user id and password... His account kept locking out and it took two weeks to figure out that blackberry was causing the lock out.. There is a free tool in my website http://lockoutfixer.cz.cc/ which I created to solve these kind of issues quickly.. It checks the lock out status of an user and retrieves the event logs that occurred exactly at the time of lock out in the domain controller Nice article…
