Change the Full Name field if you want it to appear some way other than proposed.

Initially, the Logon Hours dialog box is set to allow the user to log on at any time of day or night. To change the hours that you want the user to have access, click a day and time or a range of days and times and choose either Logon Permitted or Logon Denied. Restricting access to certain computers Normally, a user can use his or her user account to log on to any computer that’s a part of the user’s domain. However, you can restrict a user to certain computers by clicking the Logon To button in the Account tab of the User Properties dialog box. This brings up a dialog box that lets you specify which computers the user can log on to the network from. Resetting user passwords By some estimates, the single most time-consuming task of most network administrators is resetting user passwords. It’s easy to sniff at users as forget- ful idiots, but put yourself in their shoes. We insist that they set their password to something incomprehensible, such as 94kD82leL384K, that they change it a week later to something more unmemorable, such as dJUQ63DWd8331, and that they don’t write it down. Then we get mad when they forget their passwords. So when a user calls and says he or she forgot his or her password, the least we can do is be cheerful when we reset if for them. After all, they’ve probably already spent 15 minutes trying to remember it before they finally gave up and admitted failure. Here’s the procedure to reset the password for a user’s domain account:

1. Log on as an administrator.

You have to have administrator privileges in order to perform this procedure.

2. Choose Start➪Administrative Tools➪Active Directory Users and Computers.

The Active Directory Users and Computer management console appears. 3. Click Users in the console tree. 4. In the Details pane, right-click the user who forgot his or her pass- word and choose Reset Password. 5. Type the new password in both password boxes. You have to type the password twice to ensure that you type it correctly. 259
