koresho Posted October 8, 2007 Posted October 8, 2007 Hey all, I am trying to create new users automatically in Vista. I need one to be an Admin and one to be a Limited... and it would be awesome if I could rename the account that the script is running under to be the admin account. (it will already be the admin, but I need to have it under a certain name.) Also, when I use autoscript to change the wallpaper for an account by modifying the registry, do you guys have any suggestions on how I could get the desktop to show the new wallpaper without a logon or logoff? I already tried an EnvUpdate. thanks!
weaponx Posted October 8, 2007 Posted October 8, 2007 Look here for wallpaper changing:http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=54588There is a DllCall at the bottom of that script that will refresh the environment.

koresho Posted October 8, 2007 Author Posted October 8, 2007 thanks for the help with the screen! now about the users... anyone? I don't mind using the command prompt or registry or anything. However I can get it done except GUI scripting (I want to avoid that if possible)
weaponx Posted October 8, 2007 Posted October 8, 2007 Have you tried to do it like in XP?net user <username> <password> /add (/domain)
koresho Posted October 8, 2007 Author Posted October 8, 2007 Have you tried to do it like in XP?net user <username> <password> /add (/domain)Yes, that works for the most part- however then I need to make one an admin and one a limited. Also I was hoping to set parental controls automagically on the limited user. I crawled google for a bit and couldn't find anything for the Parental Controls or the creation of a *limited* user account. any help appreciated.
koresho Posted October 9, 2007 Author Posted October 9, 2007 net group "Users" jsmith /ADDright, but i have to define whether the new user is an admin or a limited account
