User was locked out of his network login when he came into work this morning, swears he didn't get locked out before leaving Friday.

Where do I look for a record of the failed login attempts? Is it on the actual computer? Or can it be found in Active Directory? I'm still at a "101" level for knowing how to use AD and do security administration.

Duh... Check the security log on the domain controller, not the machine with the attempted login.

>_<
