Brgsd, Create a script such as the snippet below and use the "Run Command Line" task sequence action. Code Block ' From the book "Windows XP Cookbook" ' ISBN: 0596007256 ' ------ SCRIPT CONFIGURATION ------ strUserName = "<UserName>" ' e.g. rallen strFullName = "<FullName>" ' e.g. Robbie Allen strDescr = "<Description>" ' e.g. Employee account strPassword = "<Password>" strComputer = "<ComputerName>" ' ------ END CONFIGURATION --------- set objSystem = GetObject("WinNT://" & strComputer) set objUser = objSystem.Create("user", strUserName) objUser.FullName = strFullName objUser.Description = strDescr objUser.SetPassword strPassword objUser.SetInfo WScript.Echo objUser.Name & " created" Hope this helps!

Hi John, And thanks for a swift reply. Where in the TS should I put the "Run Command Line" to execute this script? Thanks

You would add this any time after the "Setup Windows and ConfigMgr" task sequence action, since it needs to run in the newly installed operating system. John This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights.

I am trying using this script to add local user. It also displays that user is added under Windows 7 when I tested. But when I browse to users, the new user does not appear ?? Any Suggestions?
