MrChopper,
You know an account, hence you have its info at hand. You want to verifiy if it exists. To do it, you bind to it simplest using WinNT: provider. If it error out? it does not exist.
[tt]
on error resume next
set ouser=getobject("WinNT://" & scomputer & "/" & username & ",user")
if err.number<>0 then
wscript.echo "The user account does not exist."
err.clear
'do something necessary
end if
on error goto 0
[/tt]
