Hello,

Check the Event Log on your Domain Controller. Most likely, the client
computer is trying to logon with old credentials, which are denied, and then
the account is locked out because of too many failed logon attempts. So you
need to find out what is causing this (if this is the problem, which is what
the Event Log will tell you).
