account locks out every few seconds

hI, is there a way to trace the sysem pc hostname or ip address which create this lock outs. Is there a script for the job of tracking. So far event logs and auditing did not help.

there is a lockout account tool that you might be able to figure out what is causing it. 9 out of 10 times though there is a service somewhere using that account that has a wrong password or something.

give this a try though
