in reply to Changing the account on a W2K service

I do not know what means "change an account on w2k service"
Am I right that this is just user account?

Here is a code borrowed from "Perl for System Administration" book that creates an account, modification of an user is quite similar to it

use Win32::OLE; $ADsPath = "WinNT://_enter_domain_name_here_/_enter_computer_name_,com +puter"; $c = Win32::OLE->GetObject($ADsPath) or die "can't get $ADsPath\n"; # create & return User $u = $c->Create("user","xx"); $u->SetInfo(); # first create object for user, and thenchange values # in WinNT: a space between "Full" and "Name" is impossible $u->{FullName} = "XXX-user!"; $su->SetInfo();
A point is to use Win32::OLE for WMI, which is a central point for Win2K administration manupilations.

Best wishes,
