| |Local Users and Groups snap-in for Microsoft Management Console (MMC) instead. |

| |options (Standard User and Administrator) to choose from that are actually a means of creating |

| |memberships in the Users and Administrators groups, respectively. In the Local Users and Groups |

| |snap-in, you must manually configure the group memberships for the new users. |

| | |

| |The IT director of Contoso, Ltd. has ordered that every workgroup computer have two additional local |

| |groups created on it, called Accounting and Bookkeeping. She has also provided you with the following |

| |group membership assignments that must be implemented on every workgroup computer. |

| |You must also enable the Active Directory Users and Computers console, provided with the Remote Server |

| |Administration Tools package installed earlier. |

|Completion time |10 minutes |

In Exercises 12.2, 12.3, and 12.4, you created several local user accounts and two local groups, and then added the users as members of the appropriate groups. To complete this challenge, you must complete the same tasks by creating domain users and groups using the Net.exe command line utility. Write a list of Net.exe commands that will create a user account for the Director Jay Adams (JAdams), the users from Table 12-4, and the groups from Exercise 12.4, and then add the users to the correct groups, according to the following assignments:

• Accounting—Director, shift supervisors, administrative assistants

• Bookkeeping—Director, bookkeepers, administrative assistants

• Domain Admins—Director, shift supervisors

• Enterprise Admins—Director

• Domain Users—Director, shift supervisors, bookkeepers, administrative assistants

When you are finished, open an elevated command prompt on your workstation and execute the commands. Then open the Active Directory Users and Computer console and take a screen shot of the console, showing the users and groups you created.
