Creating a Local Account on Windows Server 2019
Hey there! So, you’re trying to create a local account on Windows Server 2019, huh? That’s like trying to tame a wild horse while wearing roller skates. I mean seriously, it’s kind of intimidating but we can totally do this together. Don’t sweat it! Just think of me as your trusty sidekick in this techy quest. Grab some snacks and let’s dive into the wonderful world of creating local accounts like pros!
Step One: Power Up Your Server
First things first. You need to turn on your computer server thingy. If it’s already on, just make sure you’re staring at that beautiful Windows Server 2019 screen. If not, just press that power button like it’s a magic wand that will lead you to the land of easy account creation.
Step Two: Open up Computer Management
Now, look for that start menu thingamajig at the bottom left corner. Click on it like you’re clicking an annoying ad online (but don’t worry this one is safe!) Now find “Computer Management.” You might feel fancy as if you’re some kind of tech wizard.
Step Three: Expand the User Folder
Alrighty then! Now you’ll see a new window pop up with lots of confusing words and numbers—kinda looks like your math homework from fifth grade right? Anyway, find “Local Users and Groups” in the left column. Click it! Then click “Users”. This is where all the cool kids hang out… except they are not really cool because they are just usernames.
Step Four: Create a New User
Do you see that little action button called “Action”? Click it like it’s the last slice of pizza at a party. Then select “New User”. A fancy new window should appear – kinda looks like a form you fill for school but way more fun because we all know school forms are boring.
Step Five: Fill Out the Form
So now, time to fill in those details. Type in a username that makes you sound awesome—like “SuperStarAdmin” or “LordOfTheFiles” or whatever floats your boat! Next, enter a password, but try not to use “123456,” cause honestly who thinks that’s clever anymore?
Step Six: Set Your Preferences
You also gotta decide if this user needs to change their password when they log in for the first time or if you want them locked out forever (kidding!). There should be some checkboxes for those options—just click what makes sense to you.
Step Seven: Hit Create Like A Boss
After all that typing, look down and see that big ol’ Create button. Go ahead and smash it like you’re at an epic rock concert! Your local account is ready to rock ‘n roll!
