My account in AD keep getting locked out. My account is admin account. It is doing so a few times a day. I am not typing incorrect password just within windows sessions working and it gets locked out...

Anyone experienced such issue?

Have you installed anything recently? Maybe some program is running under you admin account and wreaking havoc.

Also check your account policies.
Start/Admin/Local security settings/Account policies

There are two folders in there...review them both for anything that looks odd.

Try disabling Remote Desktop as well. Someone may be trying to access the Administrator account remotely.
