I want sometimes to lock an account but not to disable it.

Set objUser = GetObject _
("LDAP://cn=myerken,ou=management,dc=fabrikam,dc=com")
objUser.IsAccountLocked = True
objUser.SetInfo

This code seems not work. It only works when you change the True to False, means Unlock an account.

Thanks.

Hi netxman,

To my knowledge, you cannot force an account to be locked. The only way would be to exceed the password retry limit by logging on as the specific user with a dummy passsword.

Can you not disable the account, as that would work...

Yes thanks the_apostle21.

I can disable the account and can try the wrong password for the specific account to lock it.

But it is not a wise way.

I thought if change the FALSE to TRUE will effect but it seems not work.
