Creating a local user account.

[WilliamUT]

I want to create a user in the "users and passwords" section (in the control panel) with a vbscript. The only script I can find adds users to the mycomputer ---> manage ---> users and groups which doesnt accomplish what i need. Does anybody know how to do this with a script? Thanks

(i have checked the microsoft site)

I pulled this off of a site that doesn't exist anymore swynk.com so I don't know who to contribute this to but with some minor modifications it worked for me. You may have to set the password and group membership before the user.setinfo line depending on your group policy's.

Set WshNetwork = CreateObject("WScript.Network&quot
ContainerName = WshNetwork.ComputerName
Newuser = "testuser"
newpass = "123456"
Set Container = GetObject("WinNT://" & ContainerName)
Set User = Container.Create("User", NewUser)
user.setpassword(newpass)
User.SetInfo


Hope this helps

This doesnt do what i need it to do. It adds a user in the wrong place under my computer ---> manage ---> users i need to add a user in the control panel ---> users and passwords...they are 2 totally different things. Thanks for trying though.
