After migrating to a new controller, I still get the same option (Set AS/400 profile name)....

Why does a user keep getting locked out of Active Directory?

One of our users keeps getting locked out of Active Directory. We're not sure why it's happening (it may be due to an app that's connected to SQL Server). How can we figure out what happened here?
