A. A. The simple answer is to use the net user <username>
<password> /add (/domain) , however it is possible to
automate not only the addition of the user, but also his/her addition to
groups and the creation of a template user account directory structure.
Many organizations have a basic structure with word, excel directories and
some template files. This can be automated with a basic script. For
example
addnew.bat
net user %1 password /add /homedir:\\<server>\users\%1
/scriptpath:login.bat /domain
net localgroup "<local group>" %1 /add
repeat for local groups
net group "<groups>" %1 /add /domain
repeat for global groups
xcopy \\<server>\users\template \\<server>\users\%1 /e
nltest /sync /server:BDCname
repeat for all BDCs you might be authenticating to
sleep 20
cacls \\<server>\users\%1 /e /r Everyone
remove the everyone permission to the directory
cacls \\<server>\users\%1 /g %1:F /e
cacls \\<server>\users\%1 /g Administrators:F /e
The nltest commands are needed as otherwise it fails to do the
cacls command, since the user account does not exist on the BDC to which you are
authenticating as only the PDC has been updated.
Here is my problem:
I want to create accounts using the NET USER. I want to specify that Y: be mapped to \\servername\username$ in user manager. How do I do that using the NET USER command? I tried it and Z: is the default.
THANKS
I tried the addnew.bat batch file, but I found that it (i.e. the net user command) doesn't fill in the username in the Windows 2000 account field (however it does fill in the username in the pre-Windows 2000 field). Anyone have the same problem (or maybe a solution? Thanks in advance!
