Issue of user account

Question

Hi,
On C# project, I used Powershell command to create new user and furthermore, I can make use of such user account to send out message with a success. But I cannot out show out such user account within Computer management. How to list out such user account and even to remove it?

Answer 1

I believe you might require to provide some more information. Anyhow, are you creating a user in your database? I mean the Identity user, then that user will not come under the account under computer management as they are just made inside the database.

If you made the local user account using PowerShell, it must appear in the Computer management. Refer the following link to understand how can you create a local user account using PowerShell.

Hope this helps

@ackson1990-7147, Welcome to Microsoft Q&A,

I could use the WMI to list all the user accounts that appears in the Computer management , please refer to the following code.

ManagementObjectSearcher searcher = new ManagementObjectSearcher("root\\CIMV2", "SELECT * FROM Win32_UserAccount");  
  
            foreach (ManagementObject queryObj in searcher.Get())  
                Console.WriteLine("Name: {0}", queryObj["Name"]);  

Tested result and Compter management:

Updated for creating user in c#:

 DirectoryEntry AD = new DirectoryEntry("WinNT://" +  
  Environment.MachineName + ",computer");  
  DirectoryEntry NewUser = AD.Children.Add("TestUser1", "user");  
  NewUser.Invoke("SetPassword", new object[] { "#12345Abc" });  
  NewUser.Invoke("Put", new object[] { "Description", "Test User from .NET" });  
   NewUser.CommitChanges();  

Best Regards,
Jack
