I have a Domain Windows 2000. I have a problem, everytime a user change its password its account is locked out many times. I don't know why.

The user is almost certainly still logged in on another computer with their old password. The challenge is to find out which machine. The only way that I know for finding out the name of the machine that is generating the account lockouts is to turn on debug logging on each of your domain controllers.

Make the change listed in the referenced document then stop and start the server service on your domain controllers and wait for the account to get locked out again. Now you can go look at the log files and search for the user name and find out which machine locked him out.
