Interesting finding on locked accounts in ADS

I just found out something interesting by accident. It seems that if an account is logged in to a box, but the box is locked, you can not unlock it with a locked account (too many bad password attempts I think). However, if you pull the network connection so it has to use cached credentials it will let you right in, then you can reconnect the network cable. I'm not sure if it would work if the user was logged out, but if someone could test and let us know that would be cool. Seems like an interesting oversight.
