Sorry, I guess I'm still not being clear. When I did "runas /netonly
/user:machine\user" followed by "mkpasswd -d machine -u user", I was
trying to create a "passwd" entry for a user account that was local to
the server named "machine". In other words, I was trying to access
information about the "machine\user" local user account. I was not
trying to access information about a domain user account.
Perhaps I'm confusing things by using the example name "user" in both
cases. Let me try restating it:
"runas /netonly /user:domain1\userA" followed by "mkpasswd -d domain1 -u
userA": works
"runas /netonly /user:machine2\userB" followed by "mkpasswd -d machine2
-u userB": fails

If the server is stand alone, wouldn't mkpasswd -l be more appropriate
than mkpasswd -d?
