Assuming you meant the acctinfo.DLL file... :-)
 

Acctinfo.dll adds a custom property page to the user account object Properties dialog box in Active Directory Users and Computers. For more information about Active Directory Users and Computers, see Help and Support Center for Windows Server 2003.

System Requirements

The following are the system requirements for this tool:

  • Windows Server 2003 or Windows 2000 Server operating system
  • You must be an Administrator to install Acctinfo.dll.

File Required

  • Acctinfo.dll

AcctInfo.dll Remarks

Installing Acctinfo.dll

To access the custom property page provided by Acctinfo.dll, you must first install and register the file Acctinfo.dll.

To install and register Acctinfo.dll

  1. Copy the file Acctinfo.dll to the %windir%\system32 folder. In Windows Server 2003, this is typically C:\Windows\System32. In Windows 2000, this is typically C:\Winnt\System32.
  2. Open a command window, and type the following (this example assumes that your %windir%\system32 folder is C:\Windows\System32): 
    regsvr32 c:\windows\system32\acctinfo.dll

If the command is successful, a dialog box appears informing you that Acctinfo.dll has been registered.

Note

Acctinfo.dll must be registered on each computer on which Active Directory Users and Computers is used to access user account information. For example, suppose you have two servers (Server A and Server B) commonly used to display user account information. If you register Acctinfo.dll on Server A, the Additional Account Info property page will be available in Active Directory Users and Computers. However, this property page will not be available in Active Directory Users and Computers on Server B. To access this property page on Server B, you must register Acctinfo.dll on Server B.

Removing Acctinfo.dll

You can remove the Additional Account Info property page from Active Directory Users and Computers by uninstalling Acctinfo.dll. To uninstall Acctinfo.dll, open a command window, and type the following (this example assumes that your %windir%\system32 folder is C:\Windows\System32): 

regsvr32 /u c:\windows\system32\acctinfo.dll

If the command is successful, the file Acctinfo.dll will be removed, and the Additional Account Info property page will no longer be visible in Active Directory Users and Computers. Note that this removes only the custom property page, and does not affect the data displayed on that page. This information (such as last logon and last logoff) can still be retrieved by other means.

I’m going to ask a really dumb question regarding the ACCTINFO.INI file…  Where do I put it?

It is recommended that you make the password change on the DC in the same site as the client.  You should also consider using acctinfo.dll.  It adds an acct info tab to the user properties.  The tab will show you info that is useful for acct lockouts and it will also allow you to select which site to change the password in.  It is available at http://microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=7AF2E69C-91F3-4E63-8629-B999ADDE0B9E&displaylang=en

Can you set the time for password replication in ad with windows 2000? The problem I have is that when I change a password it can take up to an hour to replicate the change.


Thanks
