We had a similar problem where the user's old computer was now in use as a
misc. machine. The computer had a program (running as a service) that
occasionally accessed a network share with old credentials, that were input
way-back-when and never updated. The only way we found it was by checking
the security event logs on our domain controllers for failures from that
user. It displays the workstation name in the error. Happy hunting. . .
