Would it be possable for a .bat file to add a user in XP?

[Kharn]

I am wondering is it possible for a user to be added by a .bat file in XP or Vista? If it is can any one spare the time to give me a short example of how it would be done?

Cheers, Saxon.

Here you go:

net user Chris password pass /add /expires:never
net localgroup "Administrators" /add Chris

The second line is only to set the user to an admin. Take it out if you only want to create a basic user. Remove password if you don't want one.

No prob man.

 

[Kharn]

net user Chris password pass /add /expires:never
net localgroup "Administrators" /add Chris

Would I just have to change Chris to say Paul or Sue say to make that the user name or is there anything else? sorry for the follow on I am just realy crap at .bat scripts.

Chris would be the name of the username you want to create.

Yes. Jsut change the name that appears first to anything you want. So if you want it to be Saxon you would just replace Chris with Saxon.
