How to get local account lockout status over network?

Hi,

Here is my situation: I have a set of Windows servers and
workstations, some are in an AD domain and some are not. Of course,
they can all see each other on my network. From my workstation, I want
to be able to quickly and remotely determine whether a user's account
on any of these machines is locked or not. Is this possible, and if
so, by what means?

I am aware of the LockoutStatus.exe utility which queries domain
controllers to see whether an account is locked out or not. However,
this utility will of course only work by contacting domain controllers.
I want to be able to use this functionality on the non-AD portion of
my network, to see whether local user accounts on XP/2000/2003 machines
are locked out.

I read something about Hyena, but am not sure if this is the utility I
am looking for.

Thanks for any that can be provided.
