You are the IT administrator for a small corporate network. You recently added an Active Directory domain on the CorpDC server to manage network resources centrally. Organizational units (OUs) in the domain represent departments. User and computer accounts have been moved into their respective departmental OUs.
Over the past few days, several personnel changes have occurred that require changes to the user accounts.
In this lab, your task is to use the following information to make the necessary user account changes on CorpDC:
• In the Accounting department, Mark Woods has been fired. Disable his account.
• In the Research-Dev department, Pat Benton is returning from maternity leave. Her account is disabled to prevent logon. Enable her account.
• Andrea Simmons in the Research-Dev department has recently married:
o Rename the account Andrea Socko.
o Change the last name to Socko.
o Change the display name to Andrea Socko.
o Change the user logon and the pre-Windows 2000 user logon name to asocko.
• In the Accounting department, Mary Barnes has forgotten her password, and now her account is locked:
o Reset the password to 1234abcd$.
o Require a password change at the next logon.
o Unlock the account.
• Allow all users in the Support OU to log on only to the Support computer. Do not restrict the users in the SupportManagers OU.
To efficiently complete these tasks, right-click the user account and select:
• Enable Account to allow logon to the account.
• Disable Account to prevent logon to the account.
• Rename to rename the account (change the full name) and modify other name-dependent properties for the user account.
• Reset Password to unlock a locked account, change the password, and force the user to change the password at the next logon.
You can also accomplish most of these tasks by editing the properties for the user account and modifying the settings on the General or Account tabs. However, the only way you can rename the account (and change the full name property) is through the right-click menu.
