AcctInfo.dll is a dynamic link library file, after registering this dynamic link library file, administrators can add an "ACCOUNT INFO" tab by using the "Active Directory User and Computer" management console to view user properties. This tab allows the administrator to view some of the advanced information in Active Directory, such as the user's last modified password time, user account last login time, etc. Use the "Additional Account Info" tab to view information, mainly due to the following two aspects.
In some cases, some information is not preserved in Active Directory, just calculated when needed. For example, the specific date of a user account password has not been present in Active Directory, but in Active Directory stores the date and password of the user recently changed the password. In order to be able to determine the specific expiration date of a user account password, usually use scripts to get this information and then calculate the last result. AcctInfo.dll can automatically calculate this data and display the results directly. In some cases, some information is not stored in Active Directory, but is stored locally. For example, a user account last login time and last logout time are only stored each domain controller, and there is no copy to other domain controllers in the domain. AcctInfo.dll can help administrators check the specific time for users to log in and log out on a certain area controller. If you have multiple domain controllers in the domain, administrators may need to install acctinfo.dll on each domain controller to check the login of a user account on each domain controller, logout time.
In addition, using acctinfo.dll can also make more convenient to modify user account passwords, lock or unlock user accounts.
