I used NET USER to set up all users for a new system. I had a customer who
was migrating from UNIX to Windows [much as it pained me to take part in
such a thing ;-) ]. I moved the /etc/passwd file from UNIX and wrote a
BASIC program to read it in and generate new users on Windows. Naturally,
I couldn't interpret the passwords from UNIX. We just plugged the new
passwords and forced the users to change them upon first login.
The command was:
net user user_id new_password /add /fullname "user_name"
where userid and user_name came from the passwd file. You will need to
have administrator access to perform this, for the obvious security
reasons. You can type net user /help at the DOS prompt for more
information.
