Using this option is the same as using the net help command with net user: net help user. Use this switch to display detailed information about the net user command. The /delete switch removes the specified username from the system. This switch forces net user to execute on the current domain controller instead of the local computer. See Additional Net User Command Options below for a complete list of available options to be used at this point when executing net user. Use the /add option to add a new username on the system. You also have the option of using * in place of a password to force the entering of a password in the Command Prompt window after executing the net user command. A maximum of 127 characters is allowed 1.

The minimum characters required can be viewed using the net accounts command. Use the password option to modify an existing password or assign one when creating a new username. Using username with no other option will show detailed information about the user in the Command Prompt window. This is the name of the user account, up to 20 characters long, that you want to make changes to, add, or remove. Execute the net user command alone to show a very simple list of every user account, active or not, on the computer you're currently using.
