Is there a way to find out how many users in User Manager are locked out? For that matter is there a way to query for 'password never changes', 'account disabled', 'user cannot change password' etc., etc., or just print out all information for users listed in User Manager?

Yes, all this information is programatically available. If you are interested in writing your own scripts for this, the Microsoft ADSI (Active Directory Services Interface) has a WinNT provider built in that can be used to query the Windows NT Domain database with most any Object-oriented scripting/programming language like vbscript, perl, javascript, etc. The latest ADSI can be downloaded from:

http://msdn.microsoft.com

You can also search the MSDN website for more complete informationon how ADSI can be used.

Another possibility (one that would require much less personal effort) is to obtain a great (my opinion) 3rd party NT administration tool - Hyena from Adkins Resource Inc. Hyena has a built-in feature that will export the entire user database to a delimited text file, which you can then use to query for all the information you need. Check it out at:

I have this freeware program that will do that as well as give you info on all of your servers, networked printers, hard drive space available on the network, etc. All you have to do is modify one .ini file to get what you want out of it. It puts the output in a .csv file for you to open in Excel and do with what you want. Email me at mike@wrightma.com if you want it to test out.
