What's the best way to script adding a new local Windows user account in Automise 3?&nbsp; The machine is not using an LDAP so active directory doesn't seem to help us.&nbsp; Ideally we would like to mask the password somehow.

Hi Travis   
  
 You will need to use some script to do that since we don’t have a built in action for this. I just did a quick google and found these pages with lots of useful info :
