If you don't use the /active option, the net user assumes yes. /comment:"text" Use this option to enter a description of the account. A maximum of 48 characters is allowed. The text entered using the /comment switch is viewable in the Description field in a user's profile in Users and Groups in Windows. /countrycode:nnn This switch is used to set a country code for the user, which determines the language used for error and help messages. If the /countrycode switch isn't used, the computer's default country code is used: 000. /expires:{date | never} The /expires switch is used to set a specific date (see below) in which the account, not the password, should expire.

[2] The default home directory is C:\Users\\ in Windows 10, Windows 8, Windows 7, and Windows Vista. In Windows XP, the default home directory is C:\Documents and Settings\\. For example, if the user account on a Windows 8 tablet is named "Tim," the default home directory created when the account was the first setup was C:\Users\Tim\.

Net User Command Examples

This first example of the net user command shows that at its simplest form, it will produce a list of all the users on the computer, much like this:

Administrator DefaultAccount Extra Guest jonfi WDAGUtilityAccount

This computer has over a dozen user accounts, so they're separated into multiple columns.

net user administrator

In the above net user example, the command produces all the details on the administrator user account. Here's an example of what might display:

User name Administrator Full Name Comment Built-in account for administering the computer/domain User's comment Country/region code 000 (System Default) Account active No Account expires Never Password last set 8/24/2020 1:21:25 PM Password expires Never Password changeable 8/24/2020 1:21:25 PM Password required Yes User may change password Yes Workstations allowed All Logon script User profile Home directory Last logon 11/9/2021 11:48:13 AM Logon hours allowed All Local Group Memberships *Administrators Global Group memberships *None

As you can see, all the details for that user on this computer are listed.

net user rodriguezr /times:M-F,7AM-4PM;Sa,8AM-12PM

Here's an example where the rodriguezr account is having its login days and times changed.

net user nadeema r28Wqn90 /add /comment:"Basic user account." /fullname:"Ahmed Nadeem" /logonpasswordchg:yes /workstations:jr7tww,jr2rtw /domain

We thought we'd throw the kitchen sink at you with this one. This is the kind of net user application you might never do at home, but you might very well see in a script published for a new user by the IT department in a company.

Here, we're setting up a new user account with the name nadeema, and setting the initial password as r28Wqn90. This is a standard account in our company, which we note in the account itself [/comment:"Basic user account."], and is the new Human Resources executive, Ahmed [/fullname:"Ahmed Nadeem"].

We want Ahmed to change his password to something he won't forget, so we want him to set his own the first time he logs on [/logonpasswordchg:yes]. Also, Ahmed should only have access to the two computers in the Human Resources office [/workstations:jr7twwr,jr2rtwb]. Finally, our company uses a domain controller [/domain], so Ahmed's account should be set up there.

As you can see, the net user command can be used for a lot more than simple user account adds, changes, and removals. We configured several advanced aspects of Ahmed's new account right from Command Prompt.

net user nadeema /delete

Now, we'll finish off with an easy one. Ahmed [nadeema] didn't work out as the latest HR member, so he was let go, and his account removed [/delete].

Net User Related Commands

The net user command is a subset of the net command and so is similar to its sister commands like net use, net time, net send, net view, etc.
