We implemented a company wide password change a couple weeks ago. Since then there are about 5 accounts that, without warning, randomly get locked out while they are still logged in to their computer. Has anyone ran into this problem and is there any solution.

Don't know if your still having this problem. But I too have experienced it.What we discovered is that the users id was being using to start a service, or they were logged into a machine, and instead of logging out, they locked the workstation. If you haven't solved it yet, I'd start looking for the id being used somewhere else. Viewing the security log under event viewer, after checking the last object access on the user properties should give you a time to lock out occurred. Makes tracking itin the event log a little easier.
