It's almost always due to some scheduled task that is trying to run
using invalid account credentials. tough part is finding out which
computer is doing it.

Thnaks Meinolf,

Would be great if you could let me know the method to read and identify
which system or service is sending the wrong credentials due to which the
account gets locked. I am using alockout.dll logs created in
c:/Windows/debug/alockout.txt.

Further help will be much appreciated.

Kind regards,
Abhijeet

Hello abhijeet,

You can compare the output from c:/Windows/debug/alockout.txt with the events
that are logged in either the Netlogon log files or the Security event log
files, because the time stamp should match something.

Have a look on this one:

Detailed step's how to read the netlogon log.

Best regards
