I have a small lab of laptops that we use for various classroom exercises.
One of them involves various things with user accounts. Needless to say
when the exercise is done, the user accounts are trashed. Is there some
kind of script that I could use to automatically build some user accounts
and set their passwords?

Yes you can to that. Probably the best way would be with batch files or
cmd files. Or windows script hosting if you prefer, but I suspect your
expertise sounds like it leaves you at batch files?

You could do it a few different ways; somethng that runs every time the
machine is booted, at a parituclar time of day via scheduler, over the
'net remotely or even have the students run it as the first thing they
do. Lots of options.

What I can NOT do if provide a known, working script for you. That
