Creating and Managing User and Computer Accounts
6.1 Types of User Accounts
User accounts are required for accessing local and network resources. Windows Server 2003 provides three
types of user accounts:
•
Local User Accounts, which allows a user to log on to a specific computer to gain access to resources
on that computer. Local user accounts reside in Security Accounts Manager (SAM) and must be created
on each computer in a workgroup;
•
Domain User Accounts, which allows a user to log on to the domain to gain access to network resources
and reside in Active Directory; and
•
Built-in User Accounts, which allows a user to perform administrative tasks or to gain access to local or
network resources. These can be local built-in user accounts, which reside in SAM, or domain built-in
user accounts, which reside in Active Directory
