This old extension in Active Directory Users and Computers (ADUC) MMC snap-in provides additional information called that is helpful in troubleshooting user accounts.
The required acctinfo.dll reads the following values from the accounts attributes and presents the results under [Additional Account Info] tab within the users properties, including:
To install, download ALTool.exe from Microsoft and extract the files using 7-Zip. With elevated privileges, copy the acctinfo.dll file to %WINDIR%\SysWOW64 directory and then via CMD, register it using the following command:
What led me to discover this treasure called acctinfo.dll was research into an LDAP property called lastLogon. The reason that I have not used acctinfo.dll previously is that whenever I need to investigate such hidden Active Directory attributes, I launch ADSI Edit.
All we need to display this extra information is to obtain a dynamic link-library file called acctinfo.dll, copy it to the correct folder and then register the service. Here are detailed instructions to achieve our mission:
A. Acctinfo.dll is a DLL that extends the functionality of the Microsoft Management Console (MMC) Active Directory Users and Computers snap-in. Acctinfo.dll is included in the Windows Server 2003 Resource Kit tools. Installing acctinfo.dll adds the Additional Account Info tab to the user object's Properties page. As the figure at Figure shows, this tab contains a variety of information, including
If the command doesn't work (i.e., if Regsvr32 can't locate acctinfo.dll), specify the full path to acctinfo.dll--for example, regsvr32 C:\program files\windows resource kits\tools\acctinfo.dll (the folder in which acctinfo.dll is usually located).
I have created a Windows form in which I have taken a drop down combo box and certain fields. The value of the fields changes accordingly when any value is selected from the drop down. The problem I am facing is that I cannot click anywhere else in the windows form. The focus stays on with the ComboBox drop down.

This DLL adds a new tab called Additional Account Info to user account properties sheets in the Active Directory Users and Computers (ADUC). Copy the file to the System32 folder of the computer on which you run ADUC (typically an administrator workstation with adminpak.msi installed) and then open a command prompt and type regsvr32 acctinfo.dll to register the DLL. Now open ADUC and view the properties of a locked-out user like Bob Smith in Figure 2 below:
Previous versions of Active Directory allowed administrators to check if a user account had an expired password.This was done by installing a non-standard dll called acctinfo.dll which gave you an additional tab to display the required information.
Bei 32-Bit-Systemen habe ich die acctinfo.dll schon häufiger genutzt, um zum Beispiel das Passwort-Ablaufdatum oder auch die SID eines Benutzers zu ermitteln. Heute wurde ich allerdings angesprochen, wie das Tool unter einem Windows 7-System, welches auf der 64-Bit-Technologie basiert, eingesetzt werden kann.
