Try logging in as the administrator, or disabling UAP. It could be because
that the user you are logged onto doesn't have permission to actually create
a user. If you check out www.zacknet.co.uk/vistabase and click Security,
there are a couple of articles there about UAP and how to disable it.

If you also boot up in safe mode, the administrator will come up as default
so you can create users there )

Zack, Andre,

Thanks for the pointers, disabling UAP allows account creation from the
command line.

This is going to make deploying applications a real pain on Vista. Our
current installation procedure, requires an account that is a member of
administrators in order to install the software. Most corporations we sell
our software to, will not allow joe user to login as administrator to
install our software. Some IT groups even have a problem providing an
account that is a member of administrators on the local computer.

For our less sophisticated customers, I can see disabling UAP being the
first thing we suggest doing. It sure beats clicking Allow on all those
dialogs.

I think UAP is still being worked out. To be honest, too many things
require, its frustrating.
