Hello,
I help administer a windows 2000 domain and keep running into a user account that keeps locking out (this said user is not the one locking himself out). Does anyone know how to locate or find out which computer is being used to lock out this account?

Check your event log for the errors for attempted log in's and see where they are coming from.

The event log will only show that information if you have auditing enabled on the server that is authorizing the accounts and if you have the proper auditing policy in place. If you do that, it will show where the invalid attempt is coming from.
