Check if account exists

Question

Hi,
To the code like
Dim computer
Set computer = GetObject("WinNT://" & computerName)
Dim user
Set user = computer.Create("user", userName)
user.SetPassword password
user.SetInfo
how to ensure that the relevant account does not exist on that machine?

Answer 1

Hi,

The Get-LocalUser PowerShell cmdlet lists all the local users on a device. Remember that Active Directory domain controllers don’t have local user accounts.

Get-LocalUser
If you want to see all the parameters available, pipe the results to the Select cmdlet:

Get-LocalUser | Select *
Running the cmdlet without any parameters returns all accounts but you can also add the -Name or -SID parameters to return information about a specific account.

I hope this answers your question.
