It does not appear this way in ADUC in Server 2008.<br />
<br />
We recently moved all users from various OU's to a new OU to consolidate and organize our Users.<br />
I am a Domain Admin and Enterprise Admin and it's still greyed out. &nbsp;Not sure why?<br />
<br />
Help is greatly appreciated.<br />
Thanks!

Active Directory Users and Computers has accounts all listed with "Account is locked out" greyed out.  The accounts aren't locked, but if one does become locked we can't unlock it.

Account is locked out - greyed out on Server 2003, but not in 2008

Active Directory (AD) is a Microsoft brand for identity-related capabilities. In the on-premises world, Windows Server AD provides a set of identity capabilities and services, and is hugely popular (88% of Fortune 1000 and 95% of enterprises use AD). 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.

Active Directory

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).

Windows Server 2003

Windows Server 2008 and Windows Server 2008 R2, based on the Microsoft Vista codebase, is the last 32-bit server operating system released by Microsoft. It has a number of versions, including including Foundation, Standard, Enterprise, Datacenter, Web, HPC Server, Itanium and Storage; new features included server core installation and Hyper-V.
