Find Lockout Source
Repeated lockouts are frustrating! This tool will pull the logs from the domain controller and display the source computer of the lockout.
Save Hours of Work
The built-in Microsoft tools do not provide the most efficient way of handling locked accounts. This tool makes it incredibly simple to unlock and reset passwords when a user calls the support line.
PowerShell Not Required
Writing PowerShell script takes time and depending on the task can get very complicated. Our GUI tools require no PowerShell scripting and you can start using them right away.
“We purchased Active Directory Pro so that our Helpdesk could quickly unlock user accounts, it is a top support call. It has also been a lifesaver in troubleshooting repeat lockouts and finding where users were getting locked out from.”
Diana Frye – IT Support Manager
