I have seen this a few times and it has always been a virus. Make sure you
have auditing on and then enable accounts. The watch to see the failed
attempts on passwords... as they fail, the accounts will lock -- if its the
virus problem.
I can't remember the virus specifically, but UPDATE and so a full virus
sweep of your environment. If you can't do that -- spend the money and
deploy a full AV solution, otherwise cash in your chips and go home.
If its just an odd matter with your accounts locking, you can find samples
of ADSI scripts that will loop through accounts and change an attribute. I
would bet dollars to doughnuts, though, that its a virus.
