Administering User Accounts using GUI tool and Command Line

Administering user accounts in Windows NT can be done using both GUI tools and the command line. Here are the steps for each method:

Using GUI Tool:

Open the "User Manager" tool from the "Administrative Tools" folder.
Select "New User" from the "User" menu to create a new user account.
Fill in the required information, such as username, password, and group membership.
To modify an existing user account, select the user from the list and choose "Properties" from the "User" menu.
You can change the user's password, group membership, and other account settings from the properties window.
To delete a user account, select the user from the list and choose "Delete" from the "User" menu.

Using Command Line:

Open the "Command Prompt" tool from the Start menu.
To create a new user account, use the "net user" command followed by the username and password. For example, "net user adm password123 /add"
To modify an existing user account, use the "net user" command followed by the username and the settings you want to change. For example, "net user adm /passwordreq:yes" will require Adm to create a password.
To delete a user account, use the "net user" command followed by the username and "/delete". For example, "net user adm /delete" will delete Adm's account.

Note: You must have administrator privileges to create, modify, or delete user accounts in Windows NT. It is recommended to use the GUI tool for managing user accounts, as it provides a more user-friendly interface and less chance of syntax errors. However, the command line can be useful for scripting and automation purposes
