Add a new user

[cmstforr]

Within NT 4 can you copy a users account when you add a new user. I would use this method if I saw an account that had permissions that I thought could be used by another user. This would therefore save me time.

Cheers,

Tomas - is this a question?

In 2000 you can copy and paste users. Don't have an NT4 box here to see if its the same, but I don't suppose you can do much harm by trying.

Whether the permissions are also duplicated you'll have to see.

When you copy a user account, all that is copied is the user's settings within the User Manager. Share and folder permissions, etc. are not copied. Every new user, even copied ones start with a fresh registry hive.
