Create Windows User Programatically ?

[Krammig]

Thanks for reading,

I'm hoping it's possible to create a Windows User programatically, preferably in VB6 however .Net could be Ok. For XP, Vista and Windows 7.

Any feedback appreciated, thanks.

Thanks for the reply.

I see it mentions XP and 2000, do you happen to know if it will work on Vista and Win7 as well ?

thanks

Well The simplest way to make such a program fully compatible is to use Shell.
Just Use The Shell to call / execute the following commands :

View user account details
NET USER [/DOMAIN]

Add a user account.
NET USER username {password | *} /ADD [options] [/DOMAIN]

Modify a user account.
NET USER [username [password | *] [options]] [/DOMAIN]

Delete a username
NET USER username [/DELETE] [/DOMAIN]


This is the simplest way, though it can be done via API too. But I believe this one will be the most compatible and error free as well as easy to implement.

Cool! Although, is that vbscript or vb6 code? Also, could you please check the link you posted for the WinXP version! I received an error "The page cannot be displayed" when visiting that link.
