Just for a bit of content our iMacs have DeepFreeze enabled on them so the rules out keychain and they also reboot every night. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

iMac causing AD account to Lock everyday.

+21If the user's home folder is included in the freeze, then it's possible that the passwords stored in the frozen keychain could be sending old credentials.
+3The Macs are Frozen in a Blank state with no user profiles so when the user logs in it will create an account for them until it is restarted which is done on a schedule every night.

Are the users setting up email or other services on phone or other devices that might be causing the lockout?

When we run the script with a windows machine it will display the hostname. However with a iMac it does not show anything. Some of the accounts that are reporting this issue and newly set up accounts
