Check your security event log to see what computer is locking him them out. Sometimes people leave themselves logged into secondary machines and dont remember it when they change the password. If it is his own machine where the lockout is occuring, then you need to look at . If it is his own machine, than you probably know what applications he might be using and stored a domain password. If you use Sharepoint, check his browsers. Same with Outlook Web Access. I've been busted with a ldap client in which I've saved credentials.
