Hi Mike,
Looking into this problem a little more in depth, it appears that the
primary users username and password are sent three times in succession
upon share access, all with invalid username or password. Then,
according to domain policies, the account is locked out. When the
account is unlocked, if a different user tries to access the share,
even with putting in their username and password, the original username
and password are sent.
The first time the computer is accessed from the given computer, the
security event log on the server has:
