Account Lockout Status 1.0.0.60, published by Microsoft Corporation, is a lightweight diagnostic utility designed to pinpoint the reasons behind Active Directory account lockouts. Combining a command-line interface with a simple graphical window, the tool queries every reachable domain controller in the affected user’s domain and aggregates lockout-related data—such as bad-password count, last lockout time, and the originating controller—into a single real-time display. Administrators typically invoke it when help-desk tickets report that a user can no longer log in, using the results to trace the source of repeated failed authentication attempts, whether from mistyped passwords, stale mapped drives, or misconfigured services. Because the utility operates with read-only permissions, it can be run safely without altering domain settings, making it suitable for routine monitoring as well as reactive troubleshooting. The single-file executable requires no installation and runs on any Windows workstation or server that has network visibility to the domain controllers, so it is often carried on USB drives by field engineers or launched remotely via scripts. Account Lockout Status is categorized under Windows Administration / Active Directory Tools and remains at version 1.0.0.60, the only release published to date. The software is available for free on get.nero.com, with downloads provided via trusted Windows package sources such as winget, always delivering the latest version and supporting batch installation of multiple applications.
