I'm running a Windows 2003 R2 Standard server, and have a problem where the
local users do not show up in the "Users" folder under Computer Management >
Local Users and Groups. Furthermore, if I run the snap-in directly
(lusrmgr.msc), the same thing happens - the Users folder says "There are no
items to show in this view." The Groups show up just fine, and you can see
the users as members of those groups. You can also still login as these
local users, even though they don't show up.
The server has not been promoted to a domain controller; it's a member server.
I've done a lot of research on this, both online and trying everything I can
on the server. He's the results of my testing on the server:
1. I can give myself full control rights to the SAM\SAM key in the registry,
which lets me see not just the SID of the local users on the server, but also
the actual names associated with them.
2. I can do a NET USER and get a list of every local user on the system.
3. I can type "control userpasswords2" at a RUN prompt and get the old user
management console from the older NT systems and THE USERS SHOW UP.
4. When running the Computer Management MMC, or when running the lusrmgr.msc
file, the users do not show up - but the local groups do.
Help?
