Could python help to create hundreds of NT accounts ?

[Roger Upole]

    The Pywin32 windows extensions
( http://sourceforge.net/projects/pywin32/ )
contain functions to do just about any
kind of NT account management, the win32net
module in particular.
    Mark Hammond's book Python Programming on
win32 is a very practical reference for this kind
of task.
