14 DAY TRIAL // Advanced user management is a scenario that addresses Windows Vista administrators. If you have access to an account with administrative privileges in Windows Vista read on. Otherwise, well, also read on, you might just learn something new.
When it comes to administering user accounts in Windows Vista the most obvious path is via the Start sphere, Control Panel and User Accounts. Alternatively, you can simply enter User Accounts in the Search box of the Start menu. However, there is a better way.
In the Search box of the Start Menu enter "cmd" and then hit enter. In the Command Prompt window you will have to type "control userpasswords2." This will cause Windows Vista UAC to ask for elevated privileges and then to display a User Accounts panel.
In this window you will find centralized all the user accounts on the computer. You will be able to easily add or remove users and even edit the properties of the user accounts including name, description and group membership.
You will also be able to permit user Logon without authentication and even reset user passwords effortlessly. A list of all the local user accounts will be available at your finger tips. Additionally, administrators can manage all the passwords stored on the machine, enable secure logon or access the advanced user management option.
You will enjoy unprecedented control over all the user accounts on a Windows Vista machine as administrator. As far as I am concerned, this is the only resource that enables an administrator to truly manage the user accounts on a Windows Vista computer.
