ABSTRACT:
A system and method for managing user accounts in a distributed network that provides authentication to a client user account is provided. The system authenticates a user to a directory services database having a set of credential information, and a number of workstation objects and creates a user account on the client according to configuration information associated with one of the workstation objects. Depending on the configuration information, the system will create the user account with the same set of credential information as a user account in the directory services database, or, create the user account with credentials having an alternate username and random password. The system is operable to store client workstation configuration information, and to associate other networking objects in the directory services database with the workstation object.
