Hello, can someone tell me if it's possible to manage
local user accounts on the XP machines on my net work
from the server or my PC.

The way you could in NT with user manager and connect to
a local PC on my lan and manipulate the user
accounts/groups?

I want to be able to add a group to every machine on my
network quickly!!

Thanks in advance
 
It depends on what Server Operating system you are using.
If you are using Windows 2000 server or Windows 2003
server you can have a domain setup where you can use
Active Directory Users and Groups. If you are just using
XP User manager in the control panel is the only way I
know of where you can add users. That will not propagate
to other XP machines. That is just local. I hope that
helps...Post your Server OS>
