Unexpected locked account

[Anthony May]

I had a user that couldn't log on because the account was
locked out, simple solution, unlock his account from
active directory. Well whenever this user logs off, the
account locks again. Any ideas on why this happens and
how to fix it?

Account lockouts can occur for many different reasons. There are several
Microsoft resources that discuss why account lockouts occur and how to
t-shoot them. Take a look at the links below.
