Verify whether SQL Server Service Account is locked or not

Many times, we need to ensure whether our SQL Server service account (or any other domain account) is locked or not. Here is the command which will help us to get that confirmation for us.

For example: I would like to perform this test for account named mydomin.com\sqsqlserver.

SQL Server service account name: mydomin.com\sqsqlserver.

Imp Note: We have to logged in to domain whether our account exist as this command run on primary domain controller. I always run this command from database server which belongs to same domain.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

C:\Users\Chhavi>net user sqsqlserver /domain
The request will be processed at a domain controller for domain mydomin.com.
