Vista and domain login

We run a Server 2003 Active Directory domain. I have a user on a Vista laptop, which works fine at her desk. Once a week she'll close it, and take it to a meeting room where she has wireless access. After opening it, she'll try to type the password, which fails. It then says her account is locked out, however, on it is not actually locked out on the domain controller.

I thought with Windows XP if there is no network connection, a user could still login with cached credentials. Does this not work with Vista? If she waited a while for the wireless to connect would she then be able to login?
 
Maybe you can get some clues from the Security Event Log in Vista. There should be several logon failures to SOMEWHERE before an account is locked out.

Obviously, be sure that she's logging on with her Domain credentials. It's be safest to use the "Domaiin\UserName" type of UserName during logon.
 
I checked the log, and event ID's 4672 (admin login success), 4624 (logon success), then 4634 (log off success) happen when she tries. The last 2 happen at the same second. Very strange.
