User Commander v1.3

User management in Windows NT, including Windows 200x, is usually a one-by-one operation: add a user, modify a user, delete a user, etc. But what if you need to add several hundred, or even thousands of user accounts ? What if you need to modify a single property on many user accounts on thousands of different computers ?
 
User Commander was designed for mass user management in mind. By taking input from a simple text file, User Commander can:

Import user account information
Modify and delete user account information, including 18 specialized Terminal Server user settings and configuration fields.
Import user local and global group memberships
Copy user and group information; copied users can optionally retain their current password. See the Copying Passwords section below for more information and restrictions.
Automatically create user home directory, home directory shares, and set security based on defined templates.

Moreover, these operations can be performed on multiple computers at the same time, so advanced operations such as changing local accounts, group memberships, and passwords on multiple computers can be performed with ease.

Advanced Home Directory Options

User Commander's home directory options allow full control over the creation of the home directory, home directory share, and both NTFS and share-level security. Pre-defined access levels, as well as individual security levels, can be configured for any user or group account.

User Commander Operation

User Commander takes its input from a simple delimited text file (the delimiter is user-defined). Moreover, the order and number of fields in the text file is completely configurable. For example, if only the logon script needs to be modified for 1000 user accounts, only the user name and new logon script name needs to be specified in the input file.

Copying Passwords

User Commander can copy passwords directly from one Windows NT user account to another Windows NT system. However, due to the technique used, this feature is only supported when Windows NT is being used as both the source and destination system. If using Windows XP or Windows 200x, use our free CopyPwd utility to copy the passwords easily from any user account to another. CopyPwd is free and full source code is provided.
