To create a new user account in a Windows Small Business Server 2008 domain follow these steps:

  1. Open the Windows Small Business Server 2008 Console
  2. Click the Users and Groups button on the top tool bar
  3. Click the Users tab
  4. In the "Users Tasks" section of the menu on the right hand side, select "Add a new user account"
  5. The "Add New User Account" dialog will open
    1. Enter the first name, last name and email address
    2. Normally Standard User should be fine
    3. Click Next
  6. On the "Create Password" page, enter a password that matches your security settings
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
