Code Snippet. Thursday, August 16, AM. Hello-- "I agree that this is a problem, I have suffered it myself this very day - hence why I have found your post in looking to see what others have done about it! I think it very cheap of Microsoft to remove the facility to control user groups from Vista Home Premium," It sure is! This is very annoying, since I cannot install VPN software without the advanced control.

I'll try it. But I wonder: has anyone developed a utility yet? Monday, August 27, AM. Thank you and hope you can help. Monday, August 27, PM. Neil, thanks for sharing info on net localgroup and net users. I added a group to my Vista Home Premium machine but now I can't seem to figure out the command line options to put an existing user into the new group that I created. Do you know how to do that? Monday, June 23, AM. BTW, my name is Nik, Neil was the guy who first posted a question about this problem and I posted the answer Anyways, heres how to add a user to a group Tuesday, June 24, PM.

Thanks Nik. I can now add groups and put users in groups from the command line. What I cannot figure out how to do, however, is give a group or a user access to remote logins. On a Vista Ultimate machine, there is a group called Remote Desktop Users, and any user in that group can make remote login connections to the machine via RDP. So, I created it and then added users to it. However, those users cannot connect to the machine via RDP presumably because I need to change some setting with regard to the "Remote Desktop Users" group to enable this access.

Do you know how to change that setting or where it exists in the registry or otherwise? Thursday, June 26, PM. Sunday, June 29, AM. Thanks Nik! Nice job. I was trying to Telnet into Vista but had to add a user to the TelentClients group.

I used your display group script and saw that TelnetClients was already there. Report abuse. Details required :.

Thanks for your feedback, it helps us improve the site. You can also configure the logon times of the user, account expiration and also define a logon script path and the home folder. One interesting feature of lusrmgr is that it can also connect to remote computers for managing their local users and groups.

Please note that remote computers are required to allow remote connections otherwise this utility will not be able to connect successfully. Once you have made the changes in the user or group rights, you can easily verify if the new changes are in effect using the command-line.

For example, I added the user itechtics in Hyper-V administrators group using lusrmgr executable discussed above. Overall, lusrmgr. What is your experience with the tool?
