I have one user...who's account will always lock out...I can manually
unlock the account...but 5 minutes later it's locked again...no body
is trying to hack in and nobody is trying to use this account ...This is a very, very small company...The event log was giving me this error...

Event ID: 1058

Windows cannot access the file gpt.ini for GPO
CN={31B2F340-016D-11D2-945F-00C04FB984F9},CN=Policies,CN=System,DC=<DOMAIN
NAME>,DC=com. The file must be present at the location <\\<DOMAAIN
NAME>\sysvol\<DOMAIN
NAME>\Policies\{31B2F340-016D-11D2-945F-00C04FB984F9}\gpt.ini>.
(Access is denied. ). Group Policy processing aborted.

But I think I cleaned this up by running - dfsutil /PurgeMupCache

(I haven't received this msg for a while. I was receiving it every half hour)

I thought It was group policy related but...I only have the Default
GPO's and I disabled all account lockout options...

Any thoughts on why this is happening???
