Everyday, we receive following message for different users. I couldn't find
a proper solution,do you have a recommendation ?

System Event ID 12294 :
The SAM database was unable to lockout the account of "user" due to a
resource error, such as a hard disk write failure (the specific error code
is in the error data) . Accounts are locked after a certain number of bad
passwords are provided so please consider resetting the password of the
account mentioned above.

This might help:

Please verify what the error code is. If it is DS_BUSY (0xc00002a5) then you
got a write conflict.
You cannot really do much here. SAM updates lockout status on the user
account with an asynchronous task, and the write might collide with some
other write (most likely, another failed logon attempt is updating the
badPwdTime attribute).

What you should do is try to locate the application that is issuing the
logon requests that are causing the lockout, and make sure it uses the most
recent pwd.
