Account lockout report

Hello,

Have you looked at the powershell plugins from Quest (Dell)? We use them here to proactively alert users of when their AD password is going to expire, etc. Take a look at them here: http://www.quest.com/powershell/activeroles-server.aspx

I am sure you can use them to create a report as you describe;

HTH,

You can use below PowerShell script to find out locked out accounts if you have 2008 R2 Domain controller

Alternatively you can use 3rd party tools such as Manage Engines

To Try the Powershell script for Account Lockout:

$Event=get-eventlog -log security | where {$_.eventID -eq 4740} | Sort-Object index -Descending | select -first 1
$MailBody= $Event.message

$MailSubject= "User Account locked out"
$SmtpClient = New-Object system.net.mail.smtpClient
$SmtpClient.host = "smtp.domain.com"
$MailMessage = New-Object system.net.mail.mailmessage
$MailMessage.from = "AcctLockNotify@domain.com"
$MailMessage.To.add("helpdesk@domain.com")
$MailMessage.IsBodyHtml = 1
$MailMessage.Subject = $MailSubject
$MailMessage.Body = $MailBody
$SmtpClient.Send($MailMessage)

Allen_Rich - Instead of email, is there a way to export this data in a file each day?  I rather not use a 3rd party tool?  Do I have to run this script on all DC's?
