This 32-bit administrative tool for Windows 2000 uses a comma-delimited file to create, write, and delete user accounts. The easiest way to maintain such files is in a spreadsheet, such as Microsoft Excel, that can work with comma-delimited files.
The format for the comma-delimited file requires headings for users [User], global groups [Global], and local groups [Local]. Before you use the /c option to create user accounts, it is recommended that you first execute AddUsers with the /d switch, the dump accounts option, which writes the headings, user accounts, local groups, and global groups to a file. Viewing this file gives a clearer picture of the structure and headings of the comma-delimited file.
You must be a member of the Administrators group on the target computer to add accounts and a member of the Users group to write accounts.
AddUsers is 100 percent Unicode. The switch /p:, followed by l, c, e, d, or any combination of the four enables you to specify the four account-creation options available in User Manager: UserMustChangePasswordAtNextLogon, UserCannotChangePassword, PasswordNeverExpires, and AccountDisabled.
