Can't register created user-account as Admin?!

[xolox]

I already posted this question in the topic "No user account createted @ T-12" but it seems to be getting no hits, and I really need some answers to this problem so excuse me for posting again ...

This is my problem: at T-12, I -succesfully- create a user-account. But when I try to register as Administrator, with that same username, I get a message stating it doesn't exist?!

In Dutch "Administrators" would be "Beheerders", but I'm sure that the name is just Administrators.

I checked regedit's context-menu of a random key, and then "Machtigingen". That would be "Permissions" or something like that in English. There are several groups, and one of them is Administrators....Still, when I checked Virtual PC 20 minutes ago, the unattended setup told me that my user had limited permissions = was no admin

Any idea's?

(F*ck, I didn't even have the permissions to start a batch from C: )

I've been looking through the NET command syntax, and tried using "NET GROUP Administrators Peter /add" but it say's "This command can only be used on a Windows-domaincontroller" Was hoping it would work instead of localgroup, but of course not....

Translation of my screenshot (it's in Dutch..) says:

D:\$OEM$\net users Peter 210785 /add
The task is completed

D:\$OEM$\net localgroup Administrators Peter /add
Systemerror 1317.

The chosen user does not exist.

D:\$OEM$\PAUSE
Press any key to continue . . .

How is this possible? I ues the exact same username in both commands, with capitalisation of only the first letter!

BTW. The password don't matter, it's just a test anyway

Hi, first of all, I only used the english (standard) commandlines when creating un unattended xp and i also have the dutch version. So you shouldn't be wondering if the problem is translation.

And second, you used the command "net users" and i think it's just "net user" (not plural). So why don't you try removing the 's'.

Hope it works!!

Veel succes

Not sure but I don't think there's a difference between user and users. I'll try though. Bedankt voor de tip

no "s" in net user.

one wrong keystroke is all it takes
