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 the free
CopyPwd utility to copy the passwords easily from any
user account to another.
