Ok here is what I have. I have about 20 XP Pro box's and a W2K SP4 file
server. It is setup in a workgroup. How can I add multiple accounts to each
workstation without having to create each account individually on each
workstation? Basically I need to add 20 users to each computer in the
office. What is the quickest way to do this? I hope I dont have manually
add each account to each workstations.

Thanks in advance.
 
If the users need to have pesonalised settings (in other words more than one
set of settings must exist on each computer) then I'd suggest creating a
domain and adding the users. More to learn-up on, but an order-of-magnitude
simpler than trying to maintain 20x20 acccounts!

In some circumstances, MyLogon may be a simpler alternative to the
conventional approach. This was developed for use on 'task-specific'
computers where the computer must behave the same no matter who logs-on. It
can be used in either a domain or workgroup, and in either case obviates the
need to maintain multiple local user-profiles.

A third option, in principle you can create accounts with the NET command,
from a batch file. I don't think this would be a very ergonomic way to work,
though.
