Wow, is that the only way to get it? It would be hard to
justify spending $300 for a resource kit for an operating
system that we are no longer using to get one dos utility.
I have a TechNet Plus subscription, perhaps it is on one
of the cds? If not, is there a way to buy just the
addusers.exe file or will the windows NT version work?
Thanks,
Eric
