I have a user who keeps getting locked out. The policy for passwords has a
lockout after 3 tries. Why would it keep locking him out? I can only think
someone is doing this to this on purpose. Is there a way in which I could
track down which computer tried to log on as a specific user last?
Suggestions would be great.
