10:00 AM

Steps to create a new user:
  1. Click on the start button and navigate to Programs | Administrative Tools and click on Active Directory Users and Computers
  2. In the left-hand pane of the console tree, right-click the folder in which you want to add a user account.  Navigate to New and then click Group
  3. Type the name of the new group; By default the name you use will also be the name of the pre-Windows 2000 name of the group
  4. In the Group Scope, choose Universal
  5. In the Group Type, choose Security
  6. Click on Next and then Finish
  7. Navigate to and right-click the newly created group clicking on Properties
  8. Click on the Members tab
  9. Click on Add
  10. Add any users that are needed  by typing in the security group into the space provided and clicking on Check Names
  11. Click OK and OK to exit out

** *Note - The security group creation process does not allow UNIX attributes to be edited unless you are in the Domain Admins security group.  If this is the case you MUST use the command line script on the admin stations in IAD03 OR open a ticket with Operations Engineering.
