It is very easy to add users and groups, especially using a batch file. Open up your favourite text editor, I prefer Notepad. Just start on the first line in the document begin your commands.
Example:
net user CharlesFrozen Password01 /ADD
net localgroup "Students" /add
net localgroup "Students" CharlesFrozen /ADD
On the first line you are telling the computer that you are adding a user by the name of CharlesFrozen with the password of Password01 and you are telling the computer to add him to the user group with the /Add command.
On the second line you are telling the computer to add a group by the name of "Students" then the /ADD command.
On the third line you are telling the computer to add to the "Students" group CharlesFrozen then the /ADD command.
Now to show you how to do more users and groups:
net user CharlesFrozen Password01 /ADD
net user JessicaMiller Password01 /ADD
net user JillRobber Password01 /ADD
net user KimSheep Password01 /ADD
net user ElvisAbbot Password01 /ADD
net user MikeMeathead Password01 /ADD
net user IkeOverload Password01 /ADD
net user ClintWallpaper Password01 /ADD
net localgroup "Students" /add
net localgroup "Students" CharlesFrozen /ADD
net localgroup "Students" ClintWallpaper /ADD
net localgroup "Students" IkeOverload /ADD
net localgroup "Students" MikeMeathead /ADD
net localgroup "Students" ElvisAbbot /ADD
net localgroup "Students" KimSheep /ADD
net localgroup "Students" JillRobber /ADD
net user KeithMcRay Password02 /ADD
net user KenLasery Password02 /ADD
net user LindaHiker Password02 /ADD
net user KitFinal Password02 /ADD
net localgroup "Faculty" /add
net localgroup "Faculty" KeithMcRay /ADD
net localgroup "Faculty" LindaHiker /ADD
net localgroup "Faculty" KitFinal /ADD
net localgroup "Faculty" KenLasery /ADD
The last and final step is when saving the document is to write .bat at the end of the file name that you are saving it as, BatchAddStudentAndFaculty.bat.
To deploy just right click the file and select run. You may need to select run as administrator depending on the operating system.

How to Start your Spooler
Went to go print a document and it wouldn't print. Went to see what the problem was and my printer spooler had stopped. What is a print spooler? It is a program that puts print jobs in order so that it can print documents one at a time, so if this stops then nothing will print.
The Solution:
1. Open a command prompt
2. Type net start spooler
3. Let the magic happen
That's it! You have now successfully started your print spooler. You should now be able to print your documents.

Cant edit a document scenario
The scenario:
John Smith has finally reached his goal of getting his dream job as a copy writer in the Marketing department. He has been an accounting clerk for the past five years On his new PC, he has been told to login, and then navigate to the M (Marketing) drive and modify his biography. When he goes to edit the biography he finds that he is not able to edit it.
The solution:
The biography was in read only mode which means that the document can be read but not edited. To fix the problem access the biography document as an administrator and right click on the document and select properties. In the General Tab of the properties window uncheckread-only. Next click on the Securities Tab and add John Smith's user account to the Group or User Names with the access to be able to write to the document. John Smith now will be able to edit his biography in the Marketing drive.
How to apply this:
The next time you get a call at the help desk from someone in your office saying they cannot edit a document on the network, or in a shared folder, check to see if they have the correct permissions to edit the document.
