Was able to logon as the guest and then run the command. I did not
know what to put for compName but using it as written brought up a DOS
looking box. I also tried it putting in what I think is my Domain
name which is a combination of letters and numbers. Both ways brought
up the box showing Enter password for either compName or the domain
plus the name administrator
Entering a password then brings up a box name console1 where I can add
the snap in computer management. When I do all this and even save it
and then go Create new user I am denied access. The snap in or box
name Console1 does not stay and when I reboot I have to access again
as guest.

Any other ideas to try When you add the snap in and then save save
the console is it supposed to stay put or do you have to add snap in
each time you need it
