If it's just randomly ocurring, as far as lockouts go, I'd chalk it up to collisions caused by urgent replication http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;306091 The following events may be logged if immediate replication is triggered (for example, by an urgent replication for a user lockout condition) and collides with the local Active Directory update: Event Type: Warning Event Source: NTDS Replication Event Category: Replication Event ID: 1083 Description: Replication warning: The directory is busy. It couldn't update object CN=... with changes made by directory GUID._msdcs.domain. Will try again later.
