A. Acctinfo.dll is a DLL that extends the functionality of the Microsoft Management Console (MMC) Active Directory Users and Computers snap-in. Acctinfo.dll is included in the Windows Server 2003 Resource Kit tools. Installing acctinfo.dll adds the Additional Account Info tab to the user object's Properties page. As the figure at Figure shows, this tab contains a variety of information, including
the last time the password was set
domain password policies
password expiration date
lockout status
last good and bad logons
To install acctinfo.dll, run the command
regsvr32 acctinfo.dllIf the command doesn't work (i.e., if Regsvr32 can't locate acctinfo.dll), specify the full path to acctinfo.dll--for example, regsvr32 C:program fileswindows resource kitstoolsacctinfo.dll (the folder in which acctinfo.dll is usually located).
