Remarks
Server users
must use a system in which the server creates a WINDOWS NT system account for
the new user. The creation of this account is controlled by several parameters
in the server s LANMAN.INI file.
If the newly
added server user name already exists as a Windows NT system user, the useril_home_dir
member of the USER_INFO_1 structure is ignored. The NetUserAdd
function supports USER_INFO_1 and USER_INFO_2 structures. Using
members of USER_INFO_1 initializes default values in USER_INFO_2
and USER_INFO_3 structures.
Subsequent NetUserSetInfo calls can change the
default values. The following are possible default values.
