It should be possible to do this with remote tools like rpcclient, or with local scripting too.

Why in goodness name would you want to add accounts to workstations that already exist on the server? The whole purpose of having domain accounts is so that you do not need user accounts on the individual workstations. Baffled! > Any help is greatly appreciated Avoid pain! Do NOT have local workstation accounts. Instead, use domain accounts. - John T. -- John H Terpstra Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
