I am looking for a solution to account lockout problem. &nbsp;One of the networks(a large church) I am a admin for has one specific account that all the students use in their web cafe. &nbsp;At least once a week I get a call from the youth director asking me to unlock the account in active directory because one of the kids had tried the password to many times. &nbsp;Is there a way to script a program or MMC that I can give the youth director access to that will unlock the account at a click of a button? I don't want to give him access to the entire directory and know its only as simple as unchecking a box in the account properties, but that requires me to connect to the VPN, log in the server and then open AD. &nbsp;Any suggestions?

Active Directory (AD) is a Microsoft brand for identity-related capabilities.

This topic includes all things Active Directory including DNS, Group Policy, DFS, troubleshooting, ADFS, and all other topics under the Microsoft AD and identity umbrella.

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).

A scripting language is a programming language that supports scripts, programs written for a special run-time environment that automate the execution of tasks that could alternatively be executed one-by-one by a human operator. Scripting languages are often interpreted (rather than compiled). Primitives are usually the elementary tasks or API calls, and the language allows them to be combined into more complex programs. Environments that can be automated through scripting include software applications, web pages within a web browser, the shells of operating systems (OS), embedded systems, as well as numerous games. A scripting language can be viewed as a domain-specific language for a particular environment; in the case of scripting an application, this is also known as an extension language.
