Addusers.exe create & delete users, it does not modify the existing account.

I think Net User.exe (Win2000 Resource kit command) can do this, but I have some inquiries about it.

Net User.exe User name /Active:No

This worked fine and disabled the account locally. When I wanted to perform the same thing on the domain, it did not work.

Net User.exe User name /Active:No /Domain controller name

Is the reason because in this case the command should be executed on the Domain controller it self?

If yes, Is there any other tool to modify user account on specific Domain Controller thru a workstation?

code:

---

net user user_name /active:no /domain

---

but then. Didn't know it is even possible to deactivate a useraccount on single DC only...

I did use this command “net user user_name /active:no /domain”
(Domain name is SPC20)

But it deactivate the account locally (in the workstation which I executed the command from),although the same account exist on the DC(SPC20), it did not deactivate it there.

Thank you.

on the w2k resource kit there should be an exe called cusrmgr ( Console User Manager ) same idea as net user but alot more options

good luck

it only executes on local ! the /domain switch specifies to execute the command on the computers! primary domain controller !

I think there was a sample post (from me) of how to use net user in addition with rcmd somewhere in the starters forum ...

Ch3lsea:
I found exactly what I was looking for (account disabled) in CUsrMgr, thank you very much
.

code:

---

$user = "testuser"
$user = getobject("WinNT://@domain/$user")
if @error <> 0
	exit(1)
endif
if $user.accountdisabled <> 1
	$user.AccountDisabled = 1
	$user.setinfo
endif
