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?

taskmgr.exe,ALOCKOUT.DLL - dll_process_detatch.

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,
