User Management with the Command Prompt

With the Command Prompt (cmd), which is included in the Beckhoff default Windows Embedded Images for Beckhoff embedded PC it is possible to manage user accounts with the "net" command

User and groups have to be managed by the console, because the conventional user manager is not available from memory reasons in the LF image.

Example:

Create new user:

net user TcatUser Password /add

Create new group

net localgroup TwinCAT /add

Assign user to an group:

net localgroup TwinCAT TcatUser /add

Further infomation about the Net command can be found in the Windows help or under Microsoft Technet.
