Yes you may want to check stored credentials. Depending on the OS… for XP see http://articles.techrepublic.com.com/5100-10878_11-6047415.html, for Win 7 see Control Panel > User Accounts > Manage your credentials. Could be a stored username and password here causing the issue. Hope this helps! /ch

Some applications cache the user’s credentials but still authenticate against the domain.  So, when the user changes her password and logs on, the application in question starts in the background and repeatedly tries to authenticate with the old credentials locking the account. 

We’ve had similar things happen.  The usual scenario is that a technician visits an end user, connects to a network share that needs his credentials.  He leaves the “Remember my Credentials” box checked and forgets to disconnect the drive when he leaves.  Months later the technician changes his password and every time the end user he visited earlier logs on the tech’s account gets locked out.

Ok.  So, I’ve had this problem twice, it eventually goes away, but it’s back, and annoying as hell!

I have a user on our domain.  She logs into her machine, and her account is not locked out.  The SECOND the user experience is loaded, her account gets locked out, and the drive mapping script fails because her account is locked out.

Something is happening between the time she logs in and the time the user interface is loaded completely.  Something that we are NOT doing.  I have run virus scans, Malware Bytes and Spybot... And and and.... And nothing shows up in any of those.  This only happens with one user.

Any ideas where to start looking?  What could be causing that?  It’s OBNOXIOUS to say the least!

Thanks!
