    How can I add a user account to a remote workstation.
    Our main office is 50 miles away from the workstation location, and
    techs need to hgave access to change Ip settings.
    I need to be able to set up a temporary user account for the techs on
    these workstations without having to physically touch the pc's. Then
    I can disable the accounts. I need to st up local accountsnot domain
    accounts.

    I am unsure of how to use User Manager for Domains...
    I have admin accounts on each PC.
    Can u advise? (Winnt and Win2k workstations).
    Please ditto your response to my EMAIL address at:
    HSolazziNOSPAM@ix.netcom.com
    Remeber to remove NOSPAM from the address. Thanks!
