(Thanks to Payam @ GPLSolutions for these) Apparently one can fully automate creating a user from the DOS command line now, including being able to disable password expiration. So to create an administrative user named 'render' with the non-expiring password 'render7', you can use: net user render render7 /add # creates user account + password net localgroup administrators render /add # makes user administrator wmic useraccount where "Name='render'" set PasswordExpires=FALSE # disable password expiration I've verified this works on Win7. This is very handy if you want to make a script that you can run on 100 machines to create a local user, then configure the rushd service to run as that user. Apparently too, you can disable the UAC before running the rush install script from DOS as well. Something you'd want to do if installing on Win7 or Vista: %windir%\System32\reg.exe ADD HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System /v EnableLUA /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f (I haven't verified that last one; just passing it on) |
