Hi
I want to create a local user.

Hi,

1)
With command line:

Creating local user jeanette with the password some password:

net.exe user jeanette /ADD "some password"


2)

Creating a local user and adding it to the Administrators group
using VBScript and the WinNT provider:

'--------------------8<----------------------

' name of user to be created
sNewUser = "mini-strator"

' password to be set on the account
sPassword = "A1234_B1234"

' name of the group the user is to be added to
sGroupname = "Administrators"

' get computer name, using current computer in this case
Set oWshNet = CreateObject("WScript.Network")
sComputerName = oWshNet.ComputerName

' connect to the Winnt provider
Set oComputer = GetObject("WinNT://" & sComputerName)

' create the user
Set oUser = oComputer.Create("user", sNewUser)

oUser.SetPassword sPassword

' in case the user already exists, we suppress the error
On Error Resume Next
' create the user
oUser.Setinfo

' Add the user to the group
Set oGroup = GetObject("WinNT://" & sComputerName & "/" & sGroupname)

' Use error handling in case the account is a member already
On Error Resume Next
oGroup.Add(oUser.ADsPath)
On Error Goto 0
'--------------------8<----------------------
