Hi,

On NT4 box, Where to see the local Admin accout? How do I create one for myself?

Thanks,

 
What kind of NT 4 box? On a workstation just launch User Manager from the Administrative Tools. On a Server it is User Manager for Domains- launch it, then go to User>Select Domain and choose the local computer name; however, if the sever is a doamin controller there are no local accounts, only domain accounts.
 
On NT Server, run User Manager for Domains, click on User Menu and choose 'Select Domain'. Type in the name of the server and as long as it's not a domain controller you should see the local accounts rather than domain accounts.



Hope this helps


David
