You can use the Domain Account Manager to create and destroy local domains, add and remove network domains, import a Lookout account, and manage domain users and groups. Refer to Destroying a Local Domain for information about how to destroy domains you have created.

Complete the following steps to use the Domain Account Manager to create a local domain on the computer.

1. Select Tools»Security»Domain Account Manager to display the Domain Account Manager. If a local domain already exists on the machine, the Domain Account Manager automatically loads the local domain and you cannot create a new local domain.
2. Select File»New»Local Domain or right-click the domain list and select New Local Domain from the shortcut menu to display the Domain Properties dialog box.
3. Click the General tab and enter a name for the domain in the Domain text box.
4. Click the Passwords tab and enter minimum and maximum password lengths and the password expiration date.

Note  Password length and expiration apply as the default setting for all user accounts in the domain.

5. Click the Access Control tab and add machines or IP addresses to the Grant List or Deny List. Active List specifies which list the domain is currently using.
6. Click the OK button to display the Change Password dialog box.
7. Assign a password for the Administrator account and click the OK button. By default, the user name for the account that you are creating is Administrator.

Note  The Domain Account Manager creates a list of built-in users and groups when creating a local domain. The built-in users include Administrator and Guest, and the built-in groups include Administrators, Guests, and Operators.
