We have a password policy that locks accounts out after 5 bad password
attempts. It than resets it after 5 minutes. We have auditing turned on
for everything. We have one account that continuously gets locked out. We
unluck it and within minutes it gets locked again. We have a native mode
Win2k domain. I have looked on all the Domain controllers for event ID 539
which should be "Account locked out".

What are the best steps to zero in on finding out where an account is
getting locked out from??
