Accounts appear to be randomly locking out
Hi,
We are experiencing a strange issue where some users accounts keep getting randomly locked out. The use will be logged in, and come back in a few minutes and will receive an error saying that the account it locked. We have 3 domain controllers in the site, and replicate to each other. 2 of them are Windows Server 2003 SP2, and the other is Windows Server 2012 R2. Any help or info would be appreciated.

One issue I have experienced in the past is where you change your password but are still logged into servers under that account (eg RDP). This causes your account to get locked intermittently until such time as log off and back onto the servers. After this happened to me a few time I learnt to log off from servers when I was finished using them.

Thanks for the info guys. I tried both AD Audit Plus and Account lockout examiner. Turns on there was a workstation which has a program on it running with old credentials. Both programs manged to pick this up. Although I must say I found the account lockout examiner to be the easiest to install, configure and find out what I needed to know.
Thanks heaps
