Windows 10: Win10 21H1 / Win11 bug - net user command makes saved credentials of user changed password...

Hi, I want to report a bug if it isn't intended to by the software: when I use the command net user and I change the password of a non-admin user from an admin account, the command will delete any credential saved before in the non-admin user account. Is this a bug?Thank you for your time and help.

Net User Command Limitations

I’m checking if net user command can change a password of an account linked to MS online. For example I’m trying to log into an online MS account on a laptop but I don’t know the password for it so I use the net user command to try and change the password for this account. Do you think it still would work?

 

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.

Remotely logoff users command with credentials

Hi areebyounus,

It's hard to tell why it's not accepting your credentials, however I can suggest an alternate solution.

Download PSTools from the following website:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/d...

Unzip the files to a new folder located C:\PSTools

Then do the following:

- Open Command Prompt as administrator

- Enter: cd C:\PSTools

- Enter: psexec.exe \\<ENTER SERVER NAME HERE> cmd

- You will then be prompted for admin credentials

Once you have entered the correct credentials (remember to use DOMAIN\USERNAME, or SERVERNAME\LOCAL_USERNAME) you will have a Command Prompt session running from that particular server. You can then do the below steps to remotely log off a user:

- Enter: query session

- Note down the session ID of the user you wish to log off

- Enter: logoff # (where # is the ID number of the user above)

Hope this helps,

Nathan
