Account Lockout Status (LockoutStatus.exe)

Account Lockout Status (LockoutStatus.exe) is a combination command-line and graphical tool that displays lockout information about a particular user account. LockoutStatus collects information from every contactable domain controller in the target user account's domain. This update addresses the following issues:

• Password set dialog does not limit textual input to password and confirm password edit boxes.
• Password set operation fails to set proper password. Password length is miscalculated resulting in a password of 1 character.
