Programmically Add Users & Groups

[Derek Hart]

Is there a way in VB.NET to programmtically add NT users and groups? Is
there a difference with Windows NT Server, Server 2003, Windows XP? Is
there a namespace to do this type of thing?

Derek,

The namespace you're looking for is System.DirectoryServices. Here's a
link to a quick walkthrough for adding objects.

I have a couple small support utilities that use the library and I
haven't had any problems running it on 2000/2003/XP. NT, however, I am
unsure of.
