How to find out all locked out accounts in AD using Powershell

If you want to unlock all those accounts:

Search-ADAccount -LockedOut | Unlock-ADAccount

Temporary User Profile

   Log in with temp profile.
b)      Start registry editor by typing regedit in find box of Windows 7.
c)      Navigate the following location.

d)      You will see similar keys under profile list, but one with .bak, as shown below.

e)      The key with .bak is for the correct old profile. Currently your Windows 7 computer logged in with fresh (temporary) profile with same key. So, rename the new profile key ( which is not having.bak) and remove .bak from correct profile key. See below.

f)      That’s it. Log off and log in (or restart) with your user name and password. You must get your correct profile with icons and profile settings back in Windows 7, if you are lucky enough
