Modifying a User Account
The dialog box in which you modify the information about a user account contains
many other fields than the ones to create the account. You can use these to document
the account and to set some other security options.
To modify an existing user account, right-click the user object you wish to modify
and choose Properties from the pop-up menu. You then see the tabbed dialog box
shown in Figure 17-4.
In the first two tabs, General and Address, you can enter some additional information
about the user, such as job title, mailing address, telephone number, e-mail account, and
so forth. Because Active Directory also integrates with Exchange Server, this information
might be important to enter for your network.
In the Account tab, shown in Figure 17-5, you can set some important user account
options. At the top of the tab, you can see the user's logon name, as well as the Windows
domain in which the user has primary membership. Below that is the user's Windows NT
Figure 17-3.
