Creating user fo use of running services

Hi, I was wondering if there are a shortcut to create a service account
user. Rather than using the GUI where I have to put in a lot of un-necessary
stuff such as email account, etc .... I just want to create a basic service
account user for a particular application, e.g. database admin service
account as the GOD user for that database instance.

PS: I have SBS 2003 and Win 2000 servers.

Thanks

net user GOD P@ssw0rd /add /domain

be sufficient for your needs? You can also take a look at "dsadd user
/?"

How would you add/modify service account of an apps with the user we just
created?, that is:

run the application xxxx under user yyyyy. THanks

runas /user:domain\userid cmd

Use the runas /? to get the syntax.

IIUC, you want to modify the account under which the service runs,
right? If that's the case you can use, for example:

sc config Alerter obj= MYDOMAIN\GOD password= P@ssw0rd

The tool is built-in in Win2K3 and is in the ResKit for Win2K.

Thanks Marin. Where can I find the list of command-line tools for W2K3?
Thanks
