    Options for the Net User Command


    • /active:{yes | no}
    Activates or deactivates the account. If the account is not active, the user cannot gain access to the server. The default is yes.
    • /comment:"text"Provides a descriptive comment about the user's account (maximum of 48 characters). Be sure to put quotation marks around the text you use.
    • /countrycode:nnn
    Uses the operating system country code to implement the specified language files for a user's help and error messages. A value of 0 signifies the default country code.
    • /expires:{date | never}
    Causes the account to expire if date is set. The never option sets no time limit on the account. An expiration date is in the form mm/dd/yy or dd/mm/yy, depending on the country code. Months can be a number, spelled out, or abbreviated with three letters. Year can be two or four numbers. Use slashes (/) with no spaces to separate parts of the date.
    • /fullname:"name"
    Is a user's full name (rather than a user name). Enclose the name in quotation marks.
    • /homedir:pathname
    Sets the path for the user's home directory. The path must exist.
    • /passwordchg:{yes | no}
    Specifies whether users can change their own password. The default is yes.
    • /passwordreq:{yes | no}
    Specifies whether a user account must have a password. The default is yes.
    • /profilepath[:path]
    Sets a path for the user's logon profile.
    • /scriptpath:pathname
    Is the location of the user's logon script.
    • /times:{times | all}
    Is the logon hours. The times option is expressed as day[-day][,day[-day]],time[-time][,time [-time]], and is limited to 1-hour increments. Days can be spelled out or abbreviated. Hours can be 12-hour or 24-hour notation. For 12-hour notation, use am, pm, a.m., or p.m. The all option specifies that a user can always log on, and a blank value specifies that a user can never log on. Separate day and time entries with a comma, and separate multiple day and time entries with a semicolon.
    • /usercomment:"text"
    Lets an administrator add or change the user comment for the account.
    • /workstations:{computername[,...] | *}
    Lists as many as eight computers from which a user can log on to the network. If the /workstations option has no list or if the list is *, the user can log on from any computer.
    • net help user | more
    Displays Help one screen at a time.

    Well, here in my PC, I have enabled the Administrator account and changed the account we create at the setup time to a standard user account. People should not be using Admin accounts for normal things. With UAC, now it is much more easier to use a stanard user account in Vista than in XP, because it pops up the message to elevate rights when needed.

    However, UAC, by default, switches to a secure desktop before prompting to elevate the rights. This is the safest option. But it is very slow. However it is not really needed with a Standard Account, so we can disable it from secpol.msc.

    Yeah that's true though :) machine will be more vulnerable to sec threats if you use the admin account.

    Yes. That's why I'm so happy and safe withou a virus guard these days. It's been more than two months since I've completely given up on AV software :)

    But still it's better to have atleast some kind of an AV machang.

    Common sense always won't work ;)

    It is not just common sense. I have tried three viruses on a similarly setup virtual machine and nothing like what the virus is supposed to do happened. (werid thing is that it didn't ask for elevation either....is Vista that smart?) The only problem maker is the....ahem....cracks. :D That's where the private torrent trackers come into play. They are virus free ;)

    Hmmm.... Interesting :)

    Winows Defender is a pretty good tool I guess, which has an inbuilt firewall as well.

    OR Maybe the viruses you tried are outdated... :lol:

    Well, they were the viruses we find in our Computer Lab. :D

    It has nothing to do with Windows Defender. Windows Defender is just an spyware blocker AFAIK. Firewall is separate from it as well.
