NET USER commands...

[Neil Toulouse]

Hi folks

Apologies again if this is the wrong forum, but I am doing this on Windows 7 so thought it would be a place to start

From a command line (CMD) if I issue the NET USER command, it returns a list of local users of the machine, in a 3 column format.

If I issue the NET LOCALGROUP command, this shows the groups of the machine but in a list format, ie one entry per line.

Is there a way of forcing the NET USER command to also show the entries in a list (one username per line)?

Thanks
Neil

I doubt there is a way to change that behavior (not sure though). But a simple vbscript would do exactly what you want (and maybe more, since your goal is probably doing more than just listing local users one-per-line)

If you are interested in this route, have a look at the script called "Enumerating User Accounts on the Local Computer" on this page:

And if you have questions about it, post in the vbscript forum here: forum329
