To create a new user account in a Windows Small Business Server 2008 domain follow these steps:
- Open the Windows Small Business Server 2008 Console
- Click the Users and Groups button on the top tool bar
- Click the Users tab
- In the "Users Tasks" section of the menu on the right hand side, select "Add a new user account"
- The "Add New User Account" dialog will open
- Enter the first name, last name and email address
- Normally Standard User should be fine
- Click Next
- On the "Create Password" page, enter a password that matches your security settings
- On the user account has been successfully added page, you have the option to add a client machine to the network. Unless the client computer has already been added to the domain, one would want to complete the wizard by clicking the Finish button.
- Connect the desktop/client computer by opening Internet Explorer and navigating to http://connect
In the screen cast below, we add a user to the Vestals Gap test domain.
