Event id 672, 675, 680 - Account getting locked out

My service account is getting automatically locked out all the time and I
see these events on the DC related to this service account

Any idea what to do?

Hello joey,

Normally this happens if you change the password and do forget some service.

This can help you:

I cannot get the AcctInfo.dll. tab show up in ADUC. I regsvr32 the dll and
also have lockoutstatus.exe in systemroot\system32 as well

Hello joey,

Do not search for the user account, browse to it's OU and opent he account
properties that way.

Hello joey,

There is no installation, the registration works or you get an error message
normal. And the only file used always on DC's or workstations where adminpak
is installed is acctinfo.dll

Did you follow this way, sorry to ask, just to make sure the correct way
is used:
