Which command displays account lockout statistics on Windows?

• A. net accounts
• B. whoami
• C. systeminfo
• D. ipconfig

Answer: (A)

Account lockout policy details are what you need to understand when assessing how and when accounts get locked. The command that reports these policy settings for user accounts is net accounts. When you run it, you’ll see information such as Lockout threshold, Lockout duration, and Lockout observation window. These values define how many failed logon attempts trigger a lockout, how long the lockout lasts, and the time window in which failed attempts are counted. Because these items directly describe the statistics and rules governing account lockouts, this command is the appropriate one to display account lockout information.

The other commands serve different purposes: whoami shows the currently logged-in user, systeminfo provides general system and OS details, and ipconfig reveals network adapter configuration. None of these report the account lockout policy or its statistics.
