Adding multiple users on a windows 10 pro via a domain

Question

_{Thursday, July 5, 2018 10:32 AM}

Hi,

We are looking to have various windows 10 pro machines shared by various users via a domain. What we want to do is have multiple users accounts on one machine via a domain. So for instance, when you add another local user to the machine via settings>accounts>other people>work or school users. We want to do this but add the users via a domain. We want to have the domain accounts pulled down form the server so each user has there own desktop access to files and folders etc.

When an account name is clicked, it will show all of the other accounts on the machine and the user can select their own account with there own desktop via domain.

Hope this makes sense? Any help would be appreciated.

• On Windows 10 Home and Windows 10 Professional editions:

  • Select the Start  button, then select Settings  > Accounts  > Family & other people > Add someone else to this PC. 

  • Enter a user name, password, password hint, and then select Next. Note: If you’re using Windows 10, version 1803, you can add security questions—instead of a hint—to your local account to help you reset your password in case you forget it. Check your version of Windows 10

• On Windows 10 Enterprise edition:

  • Select the Start  button, then select Settings  > Accounts  > Other people > Add someone else to this PC.

  • At the bottom of the page, select I don’t have this person’s sign-in information, and at the bottom of the next page, select Add a user without a Microsoft account.

  • Enter a user name, password, password hint, and then select Next. Note: If you’re using Windows 10, version 1803, you can add security questions—instead of a hint—to your local account to help you reset your password in case you forget it. Check your version of Windows 10

• To make the new account an administrator account, select Start  > Settings  > Account  > Family & other people (or Other people, if you're using Windows 10 Enterprise), and select Change account type. Under Account type, select Administrator > OK. Restart your machine and sign in with the new administrator account.

Hi thanks for the response.

Surely this will only add users locally to the machine and not across the domain?

Kind regards

Hi,

Do you want to create new users on a domain control, and these users can log on to the same computer by using their domain account?

I think you need to do this: https://www.thewindowsclub.com/secure-logon-ctrl-alt-del-windows

I am not sure though whether disabling ctrl-alt-del will show the list of users on the login page.
