How to Use the Net User Command

Substitute what you want for "NEWACCOUNT"

net user "NEWACCOUNT" /add

Good luck

Use the NET.EXE command with the USER switch parameter

net user /?
The syntax of this command is:


NET USER [username [password | *] [options]] [/DOMAIN]
username {password | *} /ADD [options] [/DOMAIN]
username [/DELETE] [/DOMAIN]


You can also use this command to add this user to particular Local Group.

How exactly do you add a user to a group using the NET USER
command? I thought that's what the NET LOCALGROUP command was
for.

To add a user account for Jay Jamison, with logon rights from 8 A.M. to 5
P.M., Monday through Friday (no spaces in time designations), a mandatory
password (jayj), and the user's full name, type:

net user jayj /add /passwordreq:yes
/times:monday-friday,8am-5pm/fullname:"Jay Jamison"

The command wrapped.

Start | Run | Type: hh ntcmds.chm::/net_user.htm

Net user
Adds or modifies user accounts or displays user account information.

NET.EXE is the command. 'User' is the switch parameter to the NET command.

Thanks for the clarification. It explains how I misinterpreted
your response.

You and I have a different understanding about exactly where
the command ends and the switches begin. I've always considered
whatever was entered after a / or - sign to be the switch. With
that in mind, NET USER is one command and NET LOCALGROUP is
another. For instance, if you enter NET HELP at a command
prompt there is a large block of items listed that are referred
to as commands. Even Microsoft seems to classify NET USER as a
command.
