Accounts are getting locked

Hi,

We are having a windows 2000 Server as a Domain Controller. Every now and
then, say every 20 days or so, all the 40 accounts are getting locked.
Unlocking was done manually going to property dialog of each user from Active
Directory Users and Computers. Recently we prepared a .CMD script to unlock
all the IDs.

I observed it happening on some weekends on few occasions. Don't remember
whether all the instances happened on weekends.

Antivirus is scheduled to start scanning on every Saturday. The scan takes
nearly 2 days. On Mondays afternoon it will complete scan operation. The
server has around 200 GB across SCSI disks.

We are having the server from nearly 2 years. Problem started happening from
last 8 months or so.

Please help me in overcoming this problem.

Thanks,
Harsha
