====== Windows create a local user in command line ======

Use **cmd** command line

To add a new user account on the local computer:
<cli prompt='>'>
c:\> net user username password /ADD
</cli>

If you do not want the password to be visible while adding new user account
<cli prompt='>'>
C:\> net user /add John *
Type a password for the user: 
Retype the password to confirm:
The command completed successfully.
</cli>

To add a new user account to the domain:
<cli prompt='>'>
C:\> net user username password /ADD /DOMAIN
</cli>

This adds the user to the Local Administrators Group
<cli prompt='>'>
C:\> net localgroup administrators [username] /add
</cli>

To set user full name while creating the user account
<cli prompt='>'>
C:\> net user username password /ADD /FULLNAME:"User_Fullname"
</cli>

To allow user to change password:
<cli prompt='>'>
C:\> net user username password /ADD /PASSWORDCHG:Yes
</cli>

To restrict user not to change the password:
<cli prompt='>'>
C:\> net user username userpasswd /ADD /PASSWORDCHG:NO
</cli>

To set account expiry time we can use **/EXPIRES** switch. This can also be used to set that the account never expires.

To specify if the user must  have a password set we can use **/PASSWORDREQ**

To make it mandatory to change the password, you can use the switch **/LOGONPASSWORDCHG**

//Example//
<cli prompt='>'>
C:\> net user user1 "passwd@123″ /ADD /FULLNAME:"James User" /comment:"server support enginer" /LOGONPASSWORDCHG:yes
</cli>
