Can you be a bit more specific: did WMI itself not work? Or the
Python WMI module? What were the problems? (All this, obviously,
if you're interested in pursuing that path).

Have a look at the win32net module from the pywin32
extensions, specifically functions like NetUserGetInfo
and NetUserSetInfo. You have to pick your USER_INFO a
bit (look around the MSDN pages) but I think you can do
what you're after.
