Error in User Manager

[jzolnoski]

While creating users in User Manager I received an error similar to the following:

"Error creating user... group name not found"

Now I can't modify or delete the user entry. Is there a way to correct this without having to reload the NOS? I searched the registry for the username and did not find it there (didn't think I would). This is part of NT's security, however there must be some kind of user data somewhere. Has anyone else had this problem?

see if you have better luck at the command line

net user useraccountname /delete

Goshh...

Di you ever make a Emergency Repair disk?
With the /s option you would have a backup of you SAM database.

Which to me, looks like it could be corrupt!
L8ter!

Just a though - it shouldn't work, anyway - have you tried to create the exact group name after the fact?

After rebooting, SAM might (very unlikely, though, because UID's) establish a correllation between the two.

Again - just a thought...
