User Account Lockout

Hi,

I have a Macbook pro that is tied to a Active Directory domain. The user account on this Macbook pro gets locked out periodically. Either I have to do a password reset for the user account or have to do these following steps:

1:Login with local admin account

2:Open Settings / Users & Groups / Network Account Server *domain*(Edit)

3:Open Directory Utility

4:Unlock

5:Active Directory (Edit)

6:Administration Tab

7:Change a setting, I use "Prefer this Domain:" Turn it on or off, both work.

8:Exit and save settings
