Hi,

Problem: I am unable to create a local user account on local and target machines. The error returned for each attempt is "87", which according to MSDN means. "The parameter is incorrect." The code for Win32::NetAdmin::UserCreate looks correct and came from ActiveState documentation and http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/ntwrkstn/maintain/operate/admin.mspx

Platform: Perl 5.6.1, Windows 2000 and Windows XP

Any help would be much appreciated, thanks.

foreach $server(@server) {
    %account = (
        server => "\\\\$server",
        user => "Test",
        password => "12345678",
        homedir  => "",
        priv => "USER_PRIV_USER",
        flags => "UF_SCRIPT |UF_TEMP_DUPLICATE_ACCOUNT",
        comment  => "Test",
        logon => "",
        );

    unless (Win32::NetAdmin::UserCreate($account{server}, $account{use
+r}, $account{password}, 0, $account{priv}, $account{homedir}, $accoun
+t{comment}, $account{flags}, $account{logon})) {
        print LOG "$server,Problem,Unable To Create Account,".Win32::N
+etAdmin::GetError().",".localtime()."\n";
        ++$errorct;
    } else {
        print LOG "$server,Good,Added Account,".localtime()."\n";
        ++$goodct;
    }
}
