"Account is locked out" command-line tools

[TheBatchMan]

Do command-line tools exist that show and reset a "Account
is locked out" status on a userid in Windows Server 2003 /
Active Directory. I found the dsmod.exe and dsquery.exe on
the Windows 2003 cd, but they do not display or reset the
"Account is locked out" status.

Hi,

Check out Joe Richard's Unlock utility, which is linked on this page (near
the bottom):

If you want a VBScript solution, I have a program to display all users in
the domain that are locked out linked on this page:

http://www.rlmueller.net/LockedUsers.htm

And, a program to query the locked/unlocked status of a specific user and
then unlock the account, if desired, on this page:
