Working with UAC

Advanced User Accounts If your computer is joined to a domain, clicking the Manage User Accounts link in User Accounts opens Advanced User Accounts. (The title bar of the dialog box doesn't include the word Advanced, however.) If your computer is not joined to a domain, you can open this version by typing netplwiz at a command prompt.


Local Users And Groups This Microsoft Management Console (MMC) snap-in—which is available only in Windows 7 Professional, Ultimate, and Enterprise editions—provides access to more account management features than User Accounts and is friendlier than command-line utilities. You can start Local Users And Groups, shown in Figure 16-5, in any of the following ways:

In Computer Management, open System Tools, Local Users And Groups.

At a command prompt, type lusrmgr.msc.

In Advanced User Accounts, click the Advanced tab, and then click the Advanced button.
