I have not had time to see if there is an easy fix. My assumption is that the old Lan Manager functions have been disabled in 2k8. Usertool does not interact with Active Directory. You may want to research to see if Lan Manager compatibility can be enabled and see if that helps.
When I moved I misplaced my programming IDE application and have now replaced my original development system. Currently I don't have a way to update Usertool without a $1000 investment. Another thing I can probably do is see if I can modify an older copy of UserTool that created batch files. Originally all I did was write batch files that used the net user command. It may be pretty simple to update the old version to use the DSMOD command. It is from the old dos version of Turbo Pascal which I should be able to run without installing. (There are some things I REALLY like about running DOS. -------------------------------------------------- From: "McKenney, Kurt" <kmcken...@schaller-crest.k12.ia.us> Sent: Thursday, August 06, 2009 7:46 AM To: <info-tech@aea8.k12.ia.us> Subject: RE: [info-tech] User tool... | | I'm at home now, so I'm not sure of the specifics.
