Sherry H. wrote: I work for a school system, with all Novell servers and Windows 95/98/XP workstations. As we wage the war against Windows patches & antivirus updates, we need a way to create a local Windows admin account on our workstations with a common password, in order to allow us to use the common patch/antivirus scanners available (like MBSA, etc.). Does someone have a program that can be executed through a Novell login script that would create an admin account on the workstation with a specified password? We really don't want to move to domains, Active Directory, etc., but need someway to balance the Windows workstation/Novell server environment. I would like for the creation process to not require any user intervention, but perhaps pull the account name and password from a file we can edit. The account could be a hidden account.
