Account Lockout and Management Tools is a free set of tools provided by Microsoft to help troubleshoot account lockout problems. The Microsoft Lockout Tools includes 7 add-ons and tools to help troubleshoot account lockout issues.
The Account Lockout and Management Tools is an extracted executable called ALTools.exe. This file can be downloaded from the Microsoft download center. Once ALTools.exe is downloaded you will extract the file to a directory of your choice. These tools can be installed on a domain controller, member server or a workstation.
