dsquery, dsmod, etc

I'm afraid I know the answer to this but I want to ask in case I'm wrong.
These tools will do exactly what I need but I am not in a domain - just a
workgroup so am I correct in assuming I can not use them? I need to take a
list that has usernames, groups, initial password and create the accounts
on a Win 2003 Server (it is not in a domain). Can I use them without a
domain?

I can use net user to create the accounts and netlocalgroups to do what I
need with one exception. Nothing sets the "Must enter new password on
first login" property. I have 60-70 accounts so I would like to avoid
doing it all by hand.

Thanks.

The DS commandsa require Active Directory, so you can't use them.

To set "Must enter new password on first login", you can use cusrmgr.exe from the Windows 2000 Server Resource Kit.

Thank you. I'll look into that command.
