I am having the same problems. I have to unlock all my
users, and am getting the logon failures as well. This
afternoon, I found a computer on our network with an
actual ip address that was not one of our computers.
Interesting, but scary as well. The minute that I
attempted to ping this computer, they logged off and I was
unable to identify him otherthan with an internal network
address. His computer name was different as we have a set
standard here.

Email me at bdonals@martorifarms.com if you want to
discuss this in further.
