Re: creating local users, how??

Hello Jeff,

Like you say, on DC's no local users. So create a so called service account, a domain user which will only be used for running apache. So never login with it, give it a strong long password, which should never expire. Write down the password and store it on a safe place. Give the account only the rights apache needed, so make him NOT an administrator.

Best regards

hey

I've installed Apache HTTP Server on a Windows Server 2003 machine. I
would like to create an local user on this machine which will be the
deticated user account in which the Apache process will run inside.

This win2k3 machine has been promoted to domain controller so I don't
have the local users option within compmgmt.msc

So how can a local user be created on a machine promoted as domain
controller ?

Best Regards

Jeff
