For example, a particular user logs in using existing password. A prompt
will say, after enter the password, that the password has expired and
required to change to a new one. Then the process of entering a new password
the logon process continues and completes with the desktop now loaded. Then
the user clicks on MS Outlook to check for email and it prompts back a
window asking for user's username, password and domain. Providing all these
information does not allow the user to go into his / her mailbox.

Then when checking in AD Users and Computers and found that the user's
account is locked. Unlock it and the user and access his / her mailbox and
subsequently logging on with the new password to the computer.

Is there some problem with the logon procedure? Or setting in the AD?
