    Net User command line question for Windows 10


    Greetings all!

    I have a odd question. When you create a new local user using the "net user USER_NAME PASSWORD /add" command, where exactly does the net user command add that user to? It doesn't create a user folder as would normally happen during account creation. It doesn't add the account to System Properties / User Accounts. It will show up under a basic net user command listing all available users.

    So where exactly is the net user command adding the profile that I created with it? Is it just in the registry? Profile Hive? Just in a net user user table?

    I'm trying to create a custom user migration program that performs the same function as Windows 7 Migration Wizard did for Windows 10. (Yes I am aware that migwiz.exe can be used on Windows 10 just as easily - however there is some extra functionality that migwiz lacks that I would like to add in to my program) I would like to be able to move user accounts, cached user passwords, and user directories all in one go like Migwiz.exe does.

    If anyone has an answer to my question or suggestions on how to accomplish my overall goal - I'd be much appreciative.

    Net User command line question for Windows 10

    Windows 10 command line problem : NET USER ADMINISTRATOR *

    When I use this command line in Windows 10, it is supposed to give a prompt to enter a password. The prompt appears but the keyboard will not type in the password! I have run the cmd.exe as administrator tried this several times. I feel as though it
    has corrupted a user file. I have a Microsoft wireless keyboard and mouse. Everything works fine until I get to that prompt. I hit enter a few times and it goes back to cmd prompt. Also, when I type NET USER USERNAME PASSWORD it says it cannot find that
    user name, but shows the USERNAME when I enter NET USER. I am not including the real user name or password. I remember the PIN to enter my computer, but have some how got the password screwed up. I am able to log in with the PIN but can't make this NET
    USER command work! Thanks for any help.
