Update or Delete a MultiPoint Server User Account

The procedures in this topic use Windows user account management functionality to update the user’s full name, user name, and password, or to delete a user account.

The first two procedures apply to a computer in a MultiPoint Server system that is connected to a workgroup. A workgroup is a group of computers that are connected on a network and share resources, such as printers and files. If your computer is connected to a workgroup, when you run Manage Accounts from the Users tab, you will see a User Accounts page that is specific to computers that are connected to a workgroup, as described in the procedures in this topic.

The last two procedures in this topic apply to a computer in a MultiPoint Server system that is connected to a domain. A domain is a collection of computers on a network that share a common database and security policy. If your computer is connected to a domain, when you run Manage Accounts from the Users tab, you will see a User Accounts page that is specific to computers that are connected to a domain, as described in the procedures in this topic.
