I use a ASP site to ask the administrator the first name and last name of a new user. Now I like to generate a username with Kix Does someone know how to generate a username in a script?
Aditional: How do you check if a username allready exists?

Thanks,
Frans

We are managing some 1400 accounts and changing some 100 accounts a week. We use batch files to create modifi and delete users I think it could work with kix never tried it. we are using net user to create a user and CUsrMgr to modify the just created user CUsrMgr is in the recourse kit of win 2000 and it works fine in NT4. When there is time this week i am going to make a kix script with this an i wil post it here.

5 min after I asked this question i found thread. http://kixtart.org/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=2&t=002295

Peter,

I have send you a request for your code in NT shell scripting to your e-mail address.
I can use all the info there is.

Thanks,

Frans

This is the final script.

; What does this script do?
;
; 1. It generates a eight character NT username out of a tekst inputfile (Users.txt).
; 2. The generated name is checked for double entry's in the sam database and altered if it is double.
; 3. It will set the user enviorment like: Frist Password, Logon batch and Path to User- and profile directory.
; 4. Creates a user directory on the server.
; 5. Creates a profile directory on the server
; 6. Makes a hidden share the new user directory.
; 7. It removes the "Everyone" rights from the new user and profiles directories.
; 8. It assigns "Full Control" rights to The "administrator" and the new "username" over the new Profile- and user directory.
;
; The script is a part of a bigger sollution. The sollution works webanabled if you make a ASP website that makes the
; inputfile. You can make a costum service with SrvAny.exe from the resource that runs this script on your PDC.
; The service has to run onder the administrator account.
; In this case you have to make the script run in circles and give a time out with the "sleep" command in kix.
;
; Format of the value in the input file is:
; "John Dow" (without quotes)
;
; Files needed for this sript are:
; Kix32.exe from www.kixtart.org
; Addusers.exe from the NT Resource Kit
;
