1) Make sure you have auditing turned on in policy for the DC
2) Look for 675 events associated with the account.
Regardless of what's causing the lockouts you should be able to track down the system responsible from the failed 
Kerberos events.

Take a look at services, specifically you could search for services 
running as an user account (with expired password?).

I had the same problem and it was a service that was running with an old 
password.

Also you could take a look at the computer account in your DC, and look 
the logs of logon.

Did you check it with another user in that box?
Did you check that user in another box?

Regards.

Looking on my dc's I hae the following entries 

Service Ticket Request Failed:
      User Name:      shallensleben
      User Domain:    ASPECTCAPITAL.COM
      Service Name:   exchangeMDB/VEGA2
      Ticket Options: 0x40800000
      Failure Code:   0x12
      Client Address: 172.16.x.x

Authentication Ticket Request Failed:
      User Name:      shallensleben
      Supplied Realm Name:    ASPECTCAPITAL.COM
      Service Name:   krbtgt/ASPECTCAPITAL.COM
      Ticket Options: 0x40810010
      Failure Code:   0x12
      Client Address: 172.16.x.x

I have also checked for the obvious mapped netowrk drives, runas, saving credentials etc. all of which are absent.

This is the only user in the domain that gets locked out. He does switch between out wireless and network 
environment, which I believe should not contribute to the problem?

Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks in advance,
