User Management Software

If you are a Windows system administrator you sometimes have to manage a computer’s user accounts. You might want to check all the user accounts, list their status, enable or disable them or reset a password for a specific account.

This can be all done from the command line without lots of effort if the commands to do that are known. User Management is a software program that has been designed for system administrators who do not want to use the command line for managing user accounts.

The program can be used to display all user accounts of a local computer system. It will list the name of the account, the status and display comments if available.

The program supports local computer systems only with the option to enter a user name and password to log into remote computer systems if necessary.

A user account can be selected in the list of available users. The program provides two buttons to work with the selected user. It is possible to disable or enable an account. Disabled accounts are indicated with a red x next to the user icon.

The second option is to reset a password of the selected user. Doing so will display a new dialog window where a new password for the selected account can be entered.

User Management is a straightforward tool for administrators who prefer to use a graphical user interface to manage user accounts. It can be downloaded from download portals such as Sofotex as the download on the developer’s website does not seem to work right now.

    Really? Why can’t you just “right click on Computer -> Manage -> Connect to remote computer”?

    It seems like this tool adds nothing that isn’t already built into windows computer management utility (GUI).
