Name, Full Name, Username, etc.) Click Next When finished.
5. On the second screen enter the required password information. Click
Next when finished.
6. If you are running Exchange on your network a screen will appear
with the Exchange user info. Verify this information is correct and
click next.

the information is correct and then click on finish to create the user.
8. You can test the user's login on any computer that is a part of the
network domain.
