I've been having a problem this past week where my account becomes locked out for no apparent reason. I then have to log in to AD under another username, and reset my password. So far this has happened 3 times in the last 4 days at different times of the day. We have no idea what is causing this and as far as I know, there might be a few other people that are having the same problems.

We are using Windows Server 2003, Exchange 2003, Office 2003/2007, Windows XP and Vista Ultimate 32b.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
 
I woudl bet you anything that you are logged on somehwere with an old password. That session tries to authenticate against the server every once in a while and it locks you out.

Give my script a try to tell you WHERE you are getting locked out from.
