We are setting up a bunch of refurbs at my work. I have to go through the setup for each computer. I have to create
a test User account each time, only to delete it when it starts up (thats the way my boss wants it). Is there anyway to
ninja my way around that? It would save some time and a reboot?
For the Alliance!!

You can put the word none in the name box and it will use the administrator account only
