Question...

[HockeyFan 1]

Is there a function...or a script...to verify a local account exists on a user's computer?

I want to verify that a local account exists on a computer before the script is run because programs within the script use that specific account.

Thanks!

Do "net user" command with the Run() function, capture the stdout stream, parse the output into an array containing the user names, then cycle throught the array checking for your user name. I have the code, but not with me

That sounds like something I could use. If it's not too much trouble, could I possible get that code from you?

Thanks
