Batch file to create a new user
How do I right a batch file that creates a profile for one of the domain users on the local machine? Win XP OS
try this code
strComputer = "your computer name"
Set colAccounts = GetObject("WinNT://" & strComputer & "")
Set objUser = colAccounts.Create("user", "Admin2")
objUser.SetPassword "Test@123"
objUser.SetInfo
strComputer = "your computer name"
Set colAccounts = GetObject("WinNT://" & strComputer & "")
Set objUser = colAccounts.Create("user",
objUser.SetPassword "Test@123"
objUser.SetInfo

So does my batch file need to look like this? These are the logon credentials that must be used: username: test
password: P@$$word
domain: abc
---------------------
NET USER
[test [P@$$word | *] [options]] [/abc]
username {P@$$word | *} /ADD [options] [/abc]
password: P@$$word
domain: abc
---------------------
NET USER
[test [P@$$word | *] [options]] [/abc]
username {P@$$word | *} /ADD [options] [/abc]

Let me get this straight, for example domain user john, logs-on a computer. As soon as he logs-on, a local user named john will be created.
So the basically creating domain users on the local machines?
Is that what you are trying to do?

No, domain user John logs-on, but runs the batch file and domain user paul's profile gets created on the same computer without user Paul physically logging on to the computer.

Hi QCubed
This is exactly what I was looking for. I save the profile on a shared drive on the server and copied from there. The only problem was that i had to enter the password. This batch file does not require you to add the password, which makes it perfect.
Thanks for your help

NET USER creates and modifies user accounts on computers. When used
without switches, it lists the user accounts for the computer. The
user account information is stored in the user accounts database.
username Is the name of the user account to add, delete, modify, or
view. The name of the user account can have as many as
20 characters.
password Assigns or changes a password for the user's account.
A password must satisfy the minimum length set with the
/MINPWLEN option of the NET ACCOUNTS command. It can have as
many as 14 characters.
* Produces a prompt for the password. The password is not
displayed when you type it at a password prompt.
/DOMAIN Performs the operation on a domain controller of
the current domain.
/ADD Adds a user account to the user accounts database.
/DELETE Removes a user account from the user accounts database.
